Eu cito

Jean Vanier, the founder of the L'Arche communities for mentally handicapped people, often explains with a simple illustration his approach to those who live at L'Arche. He will cup his hands lightly and say, "Suppose I have a wounded bird in my hands. What would happen if I closed my hands completely?" The response is immediate: "Why, the bird will be crushed and die." "Well then, what would happen if I opened my hands completely?" "Oh, no, then the bird try to fly away, and it will fall and die." Vanier smiles and says, "The right place is like my cupped hand, neither totally open nor totally closed. It is the space where growth can take place".  The Prayer of Rest

Bid the brooding Spirit of God to apply your prayer to the specifics of your day. Wait quietly. Listen carefully. Obey immediately. The Prayer of Relinquishment
