"it requires a great effort to realize before Whom we stand, for such realization is more than having a thought in one's mind. it is knowledge in which the whole person is involved; the mind, the heart, body, and soul.
to know is to forget everything else.
what then is left for us to do except to pray for the ability to pray, to bewail our ignorance of living in His presence? and even if such prayer is tainted with vanity, His mercy accepts and redeems our feeble efforts."
