     How is the one who is speechless and astounded to pray truly? "It is the Spirit Himself who prays for us" says St. Paul. This then is the working of the Spirit and not the stirrings of prayer. And he said "God has shone forth in our hearts" and "his Spirit searches His depths and reveals to us His mysteries". We may have wanted to make this prayer ourselves, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit it because "we have the mind of Christ" to see the mysteries of the house of the Father. (L12)
