I learned from Monsignor Jonas Abib that our life of prayer is a continuous school. Practice and it possesses its own demand of spiritual exercises when the experience of  feelings are not there.

Therefore, whomever desires to pray more and better should use more reason than the heart. He needs to dispense with chills and sensations and accept that the less we pray the less is the will to pray.

These and other concrete signs continuing being my compass when I imagine that I already learned some thing of prayer and I lose myself.

Perhaps adjust your life of prayer too!

If it is the case, know too that the more one grows in prayer he prays without depending on the will to pray!

It appears opposite to the world, but it is consistent, you see?

Your brother,
Ricardo Sá
