To be in prayer

"Old Woman Praying"

Artist: Nicolaes Maes

I really like the comprehensiveness of this description:

To pray is to live fully, and to live fully is to be in prayer — in motion and in stillness, in words and in gestures, in sound and in silence, in asking and listening, in solitude and in community. Through prayer, we align ourselves with the sacred.
