December 9
Invite the Lord into Your Hearts
ee, the voice
cries out in the desert; it breaks the silence. "Make straight,"
it cries out, "the way of the Lord." In other words, I vibrate
in your ears only to let the Lord enter into your hearts.
But he will enter where I am to introduce him only if your ardent prayer invites him.
-- Sermon 293, 4
Prayer. O my soul, why are you so distracted by things? Why are you so occupied with earthly and mortal cares? Stay with me and praise the Lord!
-- Commentary on Psalm 145, 6
