More From Ernest Holmes

What has the cross left in each of us? you see, it gives us a treasure that no one else can give: the certainty of the faithful love which god has for us. a love so great that it enters into our sin and forgives it, enters into our suffering and gives us the strength to bear it. it is a love which enters into death to conquer it and save us.
Giving Faithful Suffering
Say the prayer first thing in the morning when you open your eyes; then say it again before you go to sleep. dream the prayer. feel the prayer with your emotional body. be the prayer; align your faith and intent with the prayer until your whole life is based on this prayer.
Dream Morning Prayer
I have a lot of faith. but i am also afraid a lot, and have no real certainty about anything. i remembered something father tom had told me--that the opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. certainty is missing the point entirely. faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns.
Father Real Light
Satan cannot deny but that great wonders have been wrought by prayer. as the spirit of prayer goes up, so his kingdom goes down. satan's strategems against prayer are three. first, if he can, he will keep thee from prayer. if that be not feasible, secondly, he will strive to interrupt thee in prayer. and, thirdly, if that plot takes not, he will labour to hinder the success of thy prayer.
Prayer Plot Three
Prayer is first of all listening to god. it's openness. god is always speaking; he's always doing something. prayer is to enter into that activity... convert your thoughts into prayer. as we are involved in unceasing thinking, so we are called to unceasing prayer. the difference is not that prayer is thinking about other things, but that prayer is thinking in dialogue,... a conversation with god.
Prayer Thinking Differences
Philosophy, though unable to tell us with certainty what is the true answer to the doubts which it raises, is able to suggest many possiblities which enlarge our thoughts and free them from the tyranny of custom. thus, while diminishing our feeling of certainty as to what things are, it greatly increases our knowledge as to what the may be; it removes the somewhat arrogant dogmatism of those who have never travelled into the region of liberating doubt, and it keeps alive our sense of wonder by showing familar things in an unfamilar aspect

The chief benefit, which results from philosophy, arises in an indirect manner, and proceeds more from its secret, insensible influence, than from its immediate application.

When we begin to look around us, to observe individuals and societies, and to study philosophies and religions, we realize that our loneliness is shared. our solitude is plural, and our singularity is the similarity between us.

A man with no philosophy in him is the most inauspicious and unprofitable of all possible social mates.
