So this is how you swim inward. So this is how you flow outwards. So this is how you pray.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am one of those who would rather sink with faith than swim without it.
When you're on a raft, you pray like in a foxhole.
Our prayer and God's mercy are like two buckets in a well; while the one ascends the other descends.
To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.
Prayer is where the action is.
Remember that bodily exercise, when it is well ordered, as I have said, is also prayer by means of which you can please God our Lord.
Swim upstream. Go the other way. Ignore the conventional wisdom.
Prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day.
During an open water swim, it's easy to lose your direction. With all the splash, it can be quite hard to see the next buoy, so I look behind it for something bigger, like a tree or a building, and aim for that instead.
People pray in one direction but they walk in a different direction, and direction always determines where we end up.
