May our prayers be short and simple. We use excess amounts of words to cover the shallow recess of our spiritual vocabulary. Simplicity of speech is a greater offering than verbosity. Action and loving care is worth many more volumes than prayers spoken to be heard.

And yet, pray. Pray with all of your being, emptying your hopes and fears before God, praising God with everything. In this, words will become simple and love will become possible.

(Tobit 12:1, 5-15, 20, Tobit 13:2, 6-8, Mark 12:38-44)
