In true prayer, although every silent moment remains the same,
every moment is a new discovery of a new silence,
a new penetration into that eternity in which all things are always new.
We know, by fresh discovery, the deep reality that is our concrete existence here and now …
When I am liberated by silence,
when I am no longer involved in the measurement of life,
but in the living of it,
I can discover a form of prayer in which
there is effectively, no distraction.
My whole life becomes a prayer.
My whole silence is full of prayer.
The world of silence in which I am immersed contributes to my prayer.
Let me seek, then, the gift of silence, … and solitude,
where everything I touch is turned into prayer:
where the sky is my prayer,
the birds are my prayer,
the wind in the trees is my prayer,
for God is all in all.
