“Why does it say:
he prayed with himself? Why not
aloud? Because God listens more carefully to what his heart says than his lips.
What a man thinks and feels as he prays to God is more important to God than
the words his tongue forms. The tongue is capable of delusion, but the heart
does not delude: it shows a man as he is...”
~St. Nikolai Velimirovich (Sunday of the Pharisee and the
Publican)
