Prayer of heart...

 "Don't drag yourself any longer to His feet.  

Follow that first impulse that draws you into His arms.  
That is where your place is." - St Thérèse of Lisieux

"Frequently, only silence can express my prayer. 

However, this Divine Guest of the tabernacle understands all,

even the silence of a child's soul filled with gratitude. 

When I am before the tabernacle,

I can say only one thing to Our Lord:

'My God, you know that I love you'

and I feel my prayer does not tire Jesus."
