If we allow ourselves to be unduly preoccupied with our own hearts, our prayer life can degenerate into a pitiful narcissism. To keep the balance true we must study Our Lord's perfect example here as elsewhere. For Him, prayer was never allowed to become an emotional indulgence. It was the girding of his loins for a journey, the trimming of his lamp for the darkness, the putting on of his armour for the battle.
