TO PRAY MEANS TO WAIT FOR THE GOD WHO COMES - Carlo Caretto
God is looking for spiritual mystics who will abandon everything to find God alone. One such modern day crazy in love with God Catholic spiritual writer I have stumbled onto is Carlo Caretto. May the fire of God's Spirit burning through his words sting your heart:
"Every prayer-filled day sees a meeting with the God who comes; every night which we faithfully put as his disposal is full of his presence . . . His coming is bound to his promise, not to our works or virtue. We have not earned the meeting with God because we have served him faithfully . . . God is thrust onward by his love, not attracted by our beauty. He comes even in moments when we have done everything wrong, when we have done nothing . . . . when we have sinned."
"To have found God, to have experienced him in the intimacy of our being, to have lived even for one hour in the fire of the Trinity and the bliss of his Unity clearly makes us say, "Now I understand. You alone are enough for me."
(excerpts from his THE GOD WHO COMES)
