Teresa of Avila - Wisdom on Prayer

A terrific definition on prayer. Another area that we can comment on in OUR OWN wisdom.
"Prayer is not just spending time with God. It is partly that -- but if it ends there, it is fruitless. No, prayer is dynamic. Authentic prayer changes us -- unmasks us -- strips us -- indicates where growth is needed. Authentic prayer never leads to complacency, but needles us -- makes us uneasy at times. It leads us to true self-knowledge, to true humility."
