| Language
of the Heart Prayer is the language of the heart, akin to poetry. Its concern is not with exact description, as that of prose so often is, but with reality itself and with the power to evoke our spiritual resources. Prayer goes on where other language leaves off: It has to do with what is least known and yet most deeply felt. The truth it touches is too great for logical precision and is corroborated not by argument but in experience. Nevertheless, prayer of all things should never be careless. It should carry integrity to its highest intensity. Everyone prays, although
not everyone admits it. Even a curse is a kind of prayer — a prayer
inverted. Under the strain of difficult conditions, or in severe loss
or bereavement, or when emotionally moved by a scene of great beauty —
as at many other times when we are deeply stirred — there is something
within us that cries out for expression. Though we cannot understand the
mystery of the world about us, we feel its kinship with the mystery within
us. This mystery, too, we do not understand but we know it in our own
aliveness. Something there is that will not allow it to be silent; it
speaks out in our own voices. |
