Comments on: Prayer, the Greatest Gift http://www.spiritualthingsmatter.com/2007/07/08/prayer-the-greatest-gift/ "He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God." ~Aeschylus, Agamemnon Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:12:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: MAR http://www.spiritualthingsmatter.com/2007/07/08/prayer-the-greatest-gift/#comment-1168 MAR Wed, 11 Jul 2007 12:41:22 +0000 http://www.spiritualthingsmatter.com/2007/07/08/prayer-the-greatest-gift/#comment-1168 I admire much the topics you choose to write about. you have just put your hand on one of the important factors of man's life. you exposed your ideas very well and summed it in your last sentence: God is the most profound reality, and prayer is the purest and simplest way to experience that reality. Thank you. MAR I admire much the topics you choose to write about.

Thank you. I believe prayer is essential to fulfill our destinies. Our gifts are not of us, but through us. Apart from conscious contact with the God of our understanding we, as humans, we will limit our potential service to God and our fellows. Thank God that we, as humans do not have to figure everything out. God knows! Thanks again for the reminder to pray Viola! Very nicely written Viola. Thank you.

My wife works for the Church of England and we often visit old historic churches. I love to sit admiring the beautiful architecture and if there are few visitors, meditate about life. One can almost sense the presence of the saints in some of the ancient buildings in the UK. I particularly like to light a candle for people in trouble. Only yesterday I was in Worcester Cathedral, near the tomb of King John, lighting a candle for someone dying of cancer, and trying to make sense of the spiritual aspect of life. Thanks Viola for sharing your thoughts. What a wonderful piece of prose, so full of penetrating insights. My wife works for the Church of England and we often visit old historic churches.
