"Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, uttered or unexpressed." Prayer is the oneing of the soul with the Father. Prayer is the penetration and total embracing of the soul in love. Prayer is peace, wholeness, and holiness.

The human contribution to the condition of prayer is but to carve out time and commitment to that which opens windows to eternity and roots and grounds the soul in love. And all that is shown and offered must be willed and practised, as it is given, with patience and humility.

And though joy, fulfilment and perfection are the destiny and reward of all who persevere and progress in faith, yet each is offered too, the yoke of vicarious suffering by little or by much, according to the Father's loving purpose and the soul's disposition. Ceaselessly, through time and eternity, I bear the marks of suffering love in My Incarnate risen body: they are the signs, the power and the hope and the promise of My redeeming love. And every soul born into the world since the beginning of time until the end of it is lovingly invited to identify with both glorious reward and painful cost of the redemption and sanctification of the Father's world.
