Our Nothingness is Divine Reality

Sr. Ruth Burrows

Prayer takes place at the deepest level of our person and escapes our direct cognition; therefore we can make no judgment about it. It is God's holy domain and we may not usurp it.  We have to trust it utterly to God... We must be ready to believe that 'nothingness' is the presence of divine Reality; emptiness is a holy void that Divine Love is filling.

Essence of Prayer

[Plenty of time these days for nothingness and emptiness -  seeing it a "a holy void that Divine Love is filling" is an entire other explanation.]
