'‘To pray is to descend with the mind into the heart, and there to stand before the face of the Lord, ever present, all seeing, within you”

Theophan the Recluse

“But our task is the opposite of distraction , our task is to help people concentrate on the real but often hidden event of God‘s active presence in their lives…. Hence the question that must guide all organizing activity in a (church ) is not how to keep people busy, but how to keep them from being so busy that they can no longer hear the voice of God who speaks in silence.” Henri Nouen, The way of the heart.

“Emotions are the voice of the Heart”, Chip Dodd
