Famous Quotes about prayer

Megan McKenna quote #384 from And Morning Came: Scriptures of the Resurrection

The Women in Black are Israeli Jews who meet wall in Jerusalem. They meet every Friday the Sabbath evening and pray. They begin by singing Kaddish for all the Israelis killed in the fighting in Israel that week. When they are finished they pause and read all the names. Then they turn again to face the wall and sing Kaddish again this time for all of Palestinians killed in the fighting that week and they turn when they are finished and once again recite the litany of the names of those killed.

S.D. Gordon famous quote #330

There are always lone hearth-fires so many And those who sit beside them with the empty chair cannot restrain the tears that will come. One sits alone so much. There is some One unseen just here within reach. But somehow we dont realize His presence. Realizing is blessed but--rare. It belongs to the mood to the feelings. It is dependent on weather conditions and bodily conditions. The rain the heavy fog outside the poor sleep the twinging pain these make ones mood so much they seem to blur out the realizing.But there is something a little higher up than realizing. It is yet more blessed. It is independent of these outer conditions it is something that abides. It is this recognizing that Presence unseen so wondrous and quieting so soothing and calming and warming. Recognize His presence--the Masters own. He is here close by His presence is real. Recognizing will help realizing too but it never depends on it.Aye more immensely more the Truth is a Presence not a thing a fact a statement. Some One is present a warm-hearted Friend an all-powerful Lord. And this is the joyful truth for weeping hearts everywhere whatever be the hand that has drawn the tears by whatever stream it be that your weeping willow is planted.
