There
are so many broken places where our prayer is needed each day. We
should be generous with our prayer. It is important to recognize the
extent and intensity of spirit that prayer awakens and sends out. Prayer
is not about the private project of making yourself holy and turning
yourself into a shining temple that blinds everyone else. Prayer has a
deeper priority, … the sanctification of the world of which you are a
privileged inhabitant. … If you could but see what your prayer could do,
you would always want to be in the presence that it awakens...
Prayerful presence transfigures everything. We will never understand
the power of our prayer to effect change and to bring shelter to others.
- John O’Donohue, Eternal Echoes
