The best prayer...

I love this definition of prayer:

Prayer is just conversation with God:

  • listening to him,
  • speaking with him
  • gazing upon him in silence

The best prayer is the one in which there is the most love. Adoration, wordless admiration, that is the most eloquent form of prayer: that wordless admiration which contains the most passionate declaration of love.

Charles de Foucauld
