If we really want to achieve true prayer, we must turn our backs upon everything temporal, everything external, everything that is not divine.
Johannes TaulerIn prayerful silence you must look into your own heart. No one can tell you better than yourself what comes between you and God. Ask yourself. Then listen!
Johannes TaulerNever believe that true prayer consists in mere babbling, reciting so many psalms and vigils, saying your beads while you allow your thoughts to roam.
Johannes Tauler
