Prayer from the Heart
he pure prayer
that ascends from a faithful heart will be like incense rising from a hallowed
altar.
No fragrance can be more pleasing to God than that of his own Son. May all the faithful breathe out the same perfume.
-- Commentary on Psalm 140, 6
Prayer. Lord, I am poor and needy, and you are generous to all who appeal to you.
-- Confessions 11, 2
