From Fr Gabriel of St Mary Magdalen OCD's classic, 'Divine Intimacy':
While we are on earth, prayer, even contemplation itself, cannot
consist solely in the enjoyment of God; it must always be united with sacrifice
– only thus is it true.
Authentic prayer and contemplation incite the soul to
generosity, disposing it to accept for God any labour or toil, and to give
itself entirely to him.
