Prayer is a word we take for granted. Ought we to do so? What do we
mean by prayer? What does the word mean in the Christian context?
Almost always when we talk about prayer we refer to something we
do. From that standpoint, questions problems, confusion,
discouragement and illusions multiply. For Burrows it is essential
to correct this view. Our Christian knowledge assures us that
prayer is essentially what God does, how God addresses us, looks at
us. And what God is doing for us is giving us the Divine Self in
love. What then is the core of the central message of the
revelation of Jesus? It is the unconditional love of God for us,
for each one of us. God the unutterable, incomprehensible Mystery,
the Reality of all reality, the Life of all Life. And this means
that divine Love desires to communicate its Holy Self to us. This
is the richness of the vision of a contemplative nun who
contradicts the heresy of so much modern writing about the
spiritual like- namely that we reach God by running faster. The
growing fascination for the public of the contemplative and
monastic life is evidence of the profound appeal of this approach.
For this there is a real hunger. At its simplest we do no look for
success so as to be assured that we do believe. We give ourselves
over completely to divine love. Ultimately, we live for God and not
for ourselves.
