"A single moment of divine union is more valuable than a long period of prayer during which you are constantly in and out of interior silence," writes Father Keating. "It only takes a moment for God to enrich you." This exquisite spiritual resource will enrich your understanding of faith ("the total surrender of our faculties and all of our being to the truth inside and outside ourselves"), silence ("God's first language"), grace ("the presence and action of Christ at every moment of our lives"), and service ("service without seeking any return characterizes the Ultimate Reality").
