Prayer -- God's Work in Us
Of ourselves, we could never take a single step in the holy way of prayer. This is why the sacred spouse cries out in her helplessness : "Draw me," that is, make the first move, for I do not know how to waken myself by my own power. But, when You will have stirred me, then, Oh dear Bridegroom of my soul, we shall run forward. You will run before me, drawing me always forward, and I will follow You in haste, accepting Your attraction; and thus You will draw me by the odor of your ointments.
