“How can we speak with God? I’m only a man, a poor man, and I speak with Him as I do with you. Sometimes I have to begin by saying that I don’t know what to tell Him, but then a conversation starts up. You, too, can sometimes begin that way, telling Him: ‘Lord, here I am in your presence and I don’t know what to tell you,’ or ‘I have just received You’ when you have received Him in Holy Communion, ‘and I don’t know how to thank you. I want to love you so much, there’s so much I need to tell You, and so many things to ask you for, and you have so much to give me, and yet I have no idea how to ask you, and you want me to ask.’ And prayer flows forth abundantly—a peaceful, splendid, fruitful prayer.”
