"When we talk about prayer or contemplation we
are really talking about those moments when God enters our life. Drawn by the prompting of the Spirit we are
distracted from ordinary occupations, and turn toward God. Something happens then that we are not always
aware of. We may not be like Moses, who
came down from his encounter with God on Mount Sinai with a face so radiant it
could not be looked upon. But each
contact with God awakens and quickens some spark deep within us that nothing
else can touch. Opening ourselves to God
is what makes us come alive. We were created with an orientation toward God,
and so actions that direct us toward God accord with the imperatives of our nature.”
