I do not have the courage to force myself to search out beautiful prayers in books. There are so many of them it really gives me a headache!. . . . like children who do not know how to read, I say, very simply to God what I wish to say. . . For me, it is a simple glance directed to heaven, it is a cry of gratitude and love inthe midst of trial as well as joy. . .
