				The higher levels of contemplation may be infused as a gift from God through special gifts of grace. The perfection of this life of prayer consists in union with God, the greater the simplicity, the more perfect the union. Grace interiorly solicits those who wish to be perfect to become simple, so that they may be made capable of enjoying the one thing necessary, the loving union with God. Prayers in Scripture The psalms form the largest collection of prayers in the Old Testament, but other intimate and confident prayers to God abound in the Scriptures. In the New Testament, Jesus is seen to be constantly praying to His Father, as He teaches his followers to do. “But whenever you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees what no man sees, will repay you.” (Mt. 6:5) “In His anguish he prayed with all the greater intensity and His sweat became drops of blood falling to the ground”. (Luke 22:44)
					A Prayer My God, I adore you in all your creatures. You are the real, the sole strength that bears this mighty world. Without you, nothing would be. Nothing does subsist without you. I love you, O my God, and praise your majesty shown forth in all creation. All that I behold, O god, reveals to me the mystery of your beauty unknown to mortal eyes. I adore the splendor of your glory, the grandeur of your majesty, that outshines the noon day sun a thousand times (Father Oliver). Throughout the Day Let us remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God
