"Remember: the value of mental prayer is not measured by how many things we do. On the contrary: the closer prayer comes to that simple act of love, the more it is worth. Normally, too, prayer becomes more simple the further we progress in the spiritual life." page 57
"St. Teresa of Avila says, 'In prayer, what counts is not to think a lot but to love a lot.'”
St. Therese said that her one mission was love. We know that God is love and that he tabernacles within us. If we join him within and join his love, we have, in my limited understanding, obtained the true presence of God and the true goal of mental prayer.
Oh my God, how I love thee!
