“Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.”
| You see, my children, the Christian’s treasure is not on earth; it is in heaven (Mt 6:20). So our thinking must go to where our treasure is. The human person has a beautiful task: to pray and to love. You pray, you love – that is the human being’s happiness on earth. |
| Prayer is nothing other than union with God. When our heart is pure and united with God, we feel within ourselves a balm, an intoxicating sweetness, a dazzling light. In this intimate union, God and the human person are like two pieces of wax that have melted together; you can no longer separate them. This union of God with his little creature is something beautiful. It is a happiness that we cannot understand. We had deserved not to pray; but God in his goodness allows us to speak to him. Our prayer is incense, which he receives with tremendous pleasure. |
| My children, your heart is small, but prayer expands it and makes it able to love God. Prayer is a foretaste of heaven, an outflowing of paradise. It never leaves us without sweetness. It is honey, which descends into the soul and sweetens everything. Sorrows melt in a prayer that is well done like snow in the sun. |
