PRAYER 

AND 

CONTEMPLATION

Quote for Today - February 21,  2011

"Prayer is one thing.

Contemplation in prayer is another ....

Prayer is sowing.

Contemplation is the reaping of the harvest,

when the reaper is filled with wonder

at the indescribable sight

of the beautiful ears of corn,

which sprung up before him

from the little naked seeds that he sowed."

St. Isaak of Syria - died around 700. Born in the area of modern day Qatar or Bahrain.
