Prayer Helping Others Giving

More From C. S. Lewis

The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. we hate others when we hate ourselves. we are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. we forgive others when we forgive ourselves. we are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
Love Forgiveness Attitude
Jesus is the mediator of justice; mary obtains for us grace; for, as st. bernard, st. bonaventure, st. bernardine of siena, st. germanus, st. antoninus, and others say, it is the will of god to dispense through the hands of mary whatever graces he is pleased to bestow upon us. with god, the prayers of the saints are the prayers of his friends, but the prayers of mary are the prayers of his mother.
Mother Jesus Prayer
On the ground of our own goodness we cannot expect to have our prayers answered. but jesus is worthy, and for his sake we may have our prayers answered. there is nothing too choice, too costly, or too great for god to give him. he is worthy. he is the spotless, holy child, who under all circumstances acted according to the mind of god. and if we trust in him, if we hide in him, if we put him forward and ourselves in the background, depend on him and plead his name, we may expect to have our prayers answered.
Jesus Prayer Children
Would we hold liberty, we must have charity- charity to others, charity to ourselves, crawling up from the moist ovens of a steaming world, still carrying the passional equipment of our ferocious ancestors, emerging from black superstition amid carnage and atrocity to our perilous present.
Black Liberty Atrocities
Exultation that does not flow from education, affections that do not flow from knowing, savoring that does not flow from seeing, feeling that does not flow from thinking - are hollow and rootless - noisy gongs and clanging cymbals. and god is not glorified by artificial and empty passions. true delight is rooted in true doctrine. god-centered exultation is rooted in god-centered education.
Passion Thinking Knowing
Many of our feelings of satisfaction or dissatisfaction have their roots in how we compare ourselves to others. when we compare ourselves to those who have more, we feel bad. when we compare ourselves to those who have less, we feel grateful. even though the truth is we have exactly the same life either way, our feelings about our life can vary tremendously based on who we compare ourselves with. compare yourself with those examples that are meaningful but that make you feel comfortable with who you are and what you have.

How can one not succumb and allow one's courage to fail when everything is shut tight, when all meaningful things are walled up, and when you constantly knock against bricks, as against the walls of a prison?

Abject poverty is demeaning, is an assault on the dignity of those that suffer it. in the end it demeans us all. it makes the freedom of all of us less meaningful.
Meaningful Suffering Poverty
As i looked about the world, so much of it impoverished, i became increasingly uncomfortable about having so much while my brothers and sisters were starving. finally i had to find another way. the turning point came when, in desperation and out of a very deep seeking for a meaningful way of life, i walked all one night through the woods. i came to a moonlit glade and prayed.
