“Pronounce the words of the prayer unhurriedly. Do not allow your mind to wander everywhere, but enclose it ‘within the words of your prayer.’ … Grace-filled attentiveness must be preceded by one’s own effort toward attentiveness. The latter must be active evidence of the sincere desire to receive the former.”

+St. Ignatius Brianchaninov
