Chapter 37

Infancy in Prayer

Infancy in prayer, like infancy in the whole spiritual disposition, is the very best attitude; guard it and ask the Lord not to let you lose this feeling. Children approach their father or mother and say nothing; they just cling to them—because it is sweet for them to be in their presence. Behave the same way: in the simplicity of your heart, always cling to the Lord.
