“God hears our heart not our voice. He sees our thoughts …. Anna maintained this rule; in her observance of it she is an image of the Church.
In the First Book of Kings, we are told that she prayed quietly and modestly to God in the recesses of her heart. Her prayer was secret, but her faith was evident.
She did not pray with her voice, but with her heart, for she
knew that in this way the Lord would hear her. ” [From a treatise on the
Lord’s Prayer by Saint Cyprian, bishop and martyr]
A prayer come from a humble heart is heard and answered.
May God Be Praised.
