Understanding Prayer

Here is a comment on prayer that I find fascinating:

"The more we pray, the more we want to pray ... What is happening is that our capacity for God is being continually widened. A kind of empty space is being hollowed out in the innermost core; a space which God can then fill. The more space there is, the more of himself he can pour in. This is the 'enlarging of the heart' which St. Benedict speaks of..."
(The Path of Life, p. 142)
