Setting Fire to Dry Prayer...
"...St Teresa [of Avila]... emphatically insisted that the primary need for beginners [to further their prayer life] was not to find the ideal method*, but to do God's will from moment to moment throughout the day... "The whole aim of any person...should be that he work and prepare himself with determination and every effort to bring his will into conformity with God's will... It is the person who lives in more perfect conformity who will receive more from the Lord and be more advanced...This King doesn't give Himself but to those who give themselves entirely to Him." " (*emphasis mine)
St Teresa of Avila, as quoted in Fr Thomas Dubay's "The Fire Within", Ignatius, San Francisco, 1989, p112
