blessed are the poor in spirit

Posted on September 13, 2007 | Filed Under spirituality 

From the inward/outward website:

Pray, even if you feel nothing, see nothing. For when you are dry, empty, sick or weak, at such a time is your prayer most pleasing to God, even though you may find little joy in it. This is true of all believing prayer.
- Julian of Norwich
