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."
