It's Not Irrelevant, We're Ignorant

"We have all been called to be the body of Christ  We have all been called to pray the prayer that He prays himself, the prayer that makes each day and hour holy, the prayer that He prays through us.  We are all responsible if His prayer is not prayed and if it is not heard by the One who made us all.

We are called to pray the prayer that has been prayed without ceasing by God's faithful for six thousand years.  The fact that it is so faintly heard in our time is not a function of its irrelevance; it is a function of our ignorance."

In Constant Prayer, Robert Benson
