“Left to ourselves, we are never more selfish than when we pray. With God as the Great Sympathizer, the Great Giver, the Great Promiser we go to our knees & indulge every impulse for gratification. But the psalms that teach us to pray… embed all our prayers in liturgy. Liturgy defends us against the commonest diseases of prayer: the tyranny of our emotions, the isolation of our pride.”

“Meditation is mastication.”
“We get ourselves ready to pray by looking at a tree, a transplant tree, and seeing ourselves in it.”
