Prayer

Practice with this motifPractice

Definition

The medium through which the created calls upon the Creator, and the receptive side of the miracle dynamic: the means of asking the Holy Spirit for what belongs to you but which you did not make.

Arc in Brief

Prayer is gradually corrected from outcome-seeking to mind-level asking for forgiveness, until it becomes quiet joining that receives what is already given.
