Commentary of the Gospell
Learning to Pray
Khalil Gibran writes thus in The Prophet:
“You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart, you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.”
The same can be applied to prayer as well. Does our prayer become a defence against knowing ourselves and God; a defence against letting ourselves be known and found out by God? God knows us in and out anyway, with our needs, frustrations, hopes, fears, sins, and dreams. Why waste so many words? It is enough that we sit in his presence. With minimal words. With maximal silence. Expressing our love and needs with wordless words. As do two lovers.
