" "…you must be always as a drop of dew hidden in the heart of this beautiful Lily of the valley
...
One must be so little to draw near to Jesus, and few are the souls that aspire to be little and unknown.
...
Our Beloved needs neither our brilliant deeds nor our beautiful thoughts.
...
The Lily of the valley asks but a single dewdrop, which for one night shall rest in its cup, hidden from all human eyes.

I have not the courage to make myself search for wonderful prayers in books; there are so many of them, and it gives me a headache. In any case, each one seems more beautiful than the one before. As I cannot day all of them, and do not know which to choose, I just act like a child who can't read; I tell God, quite simply, all that I want to say, and He always understands.
Prayer, for me, is simply a raising of the heart, a simple glance towards Heaven, an expression of love and gratitude in the midst of trial, as well as in times of joy; in a word, it is something noble and supernatural expanding my soul and uniting it to God.
