Christian Prayer›SECTION ONE PRAYER IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE›CHAPTER THREE THE LIFE OF PRAYER›III. Contemplative Prayer
Contemplative prayer is hearing the Word of God. Far from being passive, such attentiveness is the obedience of faith, the unconditional acceptance of a servant, and the loving commitment of a child. It participates in the "Yes" of the Son become servant and the Fiat of God's lowly handmaid.
