Prayer: Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
Prayer is the highest achievement of which the human person is capable.
This makes me think of a possible short story where Judgment Day has come. All souls are present and accounted for. Instead of being judged on our achievements, we are judged on our prayers. And the greatest souls are the simplest folks who have left Godde pray through them... :-)))) Of course, everyone of us would come with a different answer. Let us say that this idea feels me with amusement and glee... Thank you.

Nice reflection! I have come to believe that prayer is our highest achievement. Everything leads to it and flows from it.
