A Matter Of The Heart

"Man is made in the image of God; a desire for God is present in every heart and man in some way knows that he is capable of speaking to God in prayer.  Saint Thomas Aquinas tells us that prayer is the expression of our desire for God, a desire which is itself God’s gift.  Prayer is first and foremost a matter of the heart, where we experience God’s call and our dependence on his help to transcend our limitations and sinfulness." ~Benedict XVI, May 12, 2011
