George Herbert said prayer is 'something understood.' I love that. He doesn't say what is understood. He doesn't attempt to explain what he has seen and what he has heard and what he has learned for 'eye has not seen, nor ear heard what God has prepared for those who love Him.'
When we pray it is like the stable in the final Narnia book. The Church or chapel where we pray is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. Our heart and our world is enlarged. So why don't we pray more? Because we're blind. Satan would have us do anything else but pray. He'd prefer us to be involved in good works, church meetings, planning retreats, anything else but pray.
So let us remember today that in the Christian life we only go forward on our knees.

From Fr. Dwight Longenecker's blog

Here's a beautiful line from William F. Buckley's autobiography of faith, "Nearer, My God."
'To ponder the glory of God is to worship a transcendence that gives us a measure of man, near-infinitely small on the scale of things, but infinitely great, as the complement of divine love. Who are you, buster? I am the man Christ-God died for.'
