The evil of the church is the doing of church work in a spirit of business, something to be got through. the only way to avoid this is for the priest to be instant in prayer. if he is not, he will lose that touch of the supernatural, without which he has no right to be a priest at all.

More From Arthur Middleton

What is an "instant" death anyway? how long is an instant? is it one second? ten? the pain of those seconds must have been awful as her heart burst and her lungs collapsed and there was no air and no blood to her brain and only raw panic. what the hell is instant? nothing is instant. instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding an hour. i doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous.
Pain Real Heart
When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.

Prayer is first of all listening to god. it's openness. god is always speaking; he's always doing something. prayer is to enter into that activity... convert your thoughts into prayer. as we are involved in unceasing thinking, so we are called to unceasing prayer. the difference is not that prayer is thinking about other things, but that prayer is thinking in dialogue,... a conversation with god.

All right prayer has good effect, but if you give your whole life to the prayer you multiply its power... no one really knows the full power of prayer. of course, there is a relationship between prayer and action. receptive prayer result in an inner receiving, which motivates to right action.

Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. if we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. if we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.

When i am liberated by silence, when i am no longer involved in the measurement of life, but in the living of it, i can discover a form of prayer in which there is effectively no distraction. my whole life becomes a prayer. my whole silence is full of prayer. the world of silence in which i am immersed contributes to my prayer.

The 1928 republican convention opened with a prayer. if the lord can see his way clear to bless the republican party the way it's been carrying on, then the rest of us ought to get it without even asking.
