Geoffrey Wood famous quote #258

True Prayer is the work of relationship where He moves them from mere information about Him to a one-on-one experience with Him so that now when they talk about knowing God they mean more than I understand what youre saying about God but also It fits my experience of Him.

Geoffrey Wood famous quote #127

All this has been happening around them all the days of their lives though they couldnt see it then one day Prayer removes the veil and everything changes. Think of it this way Picture a man whistling a tune when out of nowhere first a harmony joins then another and then suddenly he is taken up into a whirlwind of music countless instruments playing soaring complexities that the mans whistling is indeed a part of but now he begins to see how small a part the longer he listens he realizes that his is not the melody and where he had thought he was whistling alone the truth had always been the music playing though never before that moment heard and now what had been noise becomes symphony.

Nikos Kazantzakis quote #408 from Saint Francis

I felt sorry for the inhabitants and went into the forest to admonish the wolf in Gods name not to eat any more sheep. I called him he cameand do you know what his answer was Francis Francis he said do not destroy Gods prescribed order. The sheep feeds on grass the wolf on sheepthats the way God ordained it. Do not ask why simply obey Gods will and leave me free to enter the sheepfolds whenever I feel the pinch of hunger. I say my prayers just like Your Holiness. I say Our Father who reignest in the forests and hast commanded me to eat meat Thy will be done. Give me this day my daily sheep so that my stomach may be filled and I shall glorify Thy name. Great art Thou Lord who hast created mutton so delicious. And when the day cometh that I shall die Grant Lord that I may be resurrected and that with me may be resurrected all the sheep I have eatenso that I may eat them again That Brother Leo is what the wolf answered me.
