finding new things for which to praise God at every turn: the little things,
nature, the creatures, suffering, his brothers—
for whatever is happening, he praises God.
Francis is never trying to earn God's love; he is celebrating it!
He continually enjoys God's love in everything he sees and experiences.
Mature prayer always breaks into gratitude and praise.
Prayer is sitting in the silence until it silences us,
choosing gratitude until we are grateful,
praising God until we ourselves are a constant act of praise.
