Unceasing prayer
Is not found in continual prayers,
Not in mystical rapture.
Unceasing prayer
Is not found in any time, or place, or action;
It embraces all times, all places, all actions.
Unceasing prayer
Is the flow of life…
Life lived in the quality of prayer.
Unceasing prayer
Is to preserve a tranquil spirit,
Constant in reverant, attentive love for God,
Ever sustained by a confident hope in him,
Surrendering to Him in all the actions,
Events, and circumstances of life,
Always giving thanks with joy
From a contrite heart.
From the unpublished notes of Rev. William Wilson, OCSO
New Melleray Abbey, 1973
Loved this post. “Surrendering to Him in all actions, events, and circumstances of life…” Not so easy to do. But gets easier as I grow older. He’s always trustworthy!
Thanks Alva Lee.
I have a ways to go with surrendering everything. Ya want to hold just a little bit back … but that is normally the very thing God wants us to surrender. One day maybe when I’m 70 or so I might just have cracked the surrendering thing? Blessings 2 u 🙂
Love it! Good reminder.
Thanks. I needed to hear that. I did enjoy reading it. Great post.
