From Father Arnel
In the words of Jesus, persistence is an element
of prayer. Persistence though, as an attitude, is
more than just repeating prayer over and over
again. It is the person’s character that molds that
person to seek out God in solitude many times
during the day. Persistence in the context of
prayer, as a virtue, is not a need based thing. It is
everything! It means that we pray not only when
we need something but many times and/or at all
times every day. It means there is no excuse for
not praying.
Yet there is more to prayer we need to
understand. Prayer here is so far, still an act: an
activity which is part of life. At certain times of the
day we stop, go into solitude and invoke God’s
help, his mercy or just plain talk to God. The goal
of holiness through prayer is more than that. The
goal of holiness is to fuse into one, life and
prayer. Prayer is no longer part of life but life
itself.
Skipping all other levels of holiness, the highest
level is when one prays no longer for things but
for God himself, the giver of things. When one
greatly desires no longer for the world but to hold
in oneself the maker of the world, one has
achieved perfection.
