Abraham Joshua Heschel
“God is either of no importance, or of supreme importance.”
Abraham Joshua Heschel

“The primary purpose of prayer is not to make requests. The primary purpose is to praise, to sing, to chant. Because the essence of prayer is a song, and man cannot live without a song.

Prayer may not save us. But prayer may make us worthy of being saved.”
Abraham Joshua Heschel, Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity

Abraham Joshua Heschel
“To pray is to dream in league with God, to envision His holy visions.”
Abraham Heschel

“Prayer is our humble answer to the inconceivable surprise of living.”
Abraham Joshua Heschel

Abraham Joshua Heschel
“People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we seek to be amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation. To be entertained is a passive state--it is to receive pleasure afforded by an amusing act or a spectacle.... Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one's actions.
