Regardless of spiritual orientation, this article on Benedictine Prayer is a worthy, beautiful reminder of the heartbeat of prayer in our lives.
"Benedictine prayer is not mindless repetition of endless formulas.
It is about the immersion in the mind of God that living the God-life requires,
if we are to be faithful to it all our living days."

"Prayer lightens the load. It gives fresh direction and new energy.
It fixes the eye of the soul on the real ends of life, when the real goals of real time
seem unattainable."
This statement above deeply affects one's thoughts on prayer. Speaking for myself, it refocused my own prayers toward a deeper level of soul consciousness of such a blessing.
