Dua Üzerine Kanıtlama: Yüreğin Arılığı

The purity of the heart is a prayer more excellent than any prayers uttered with a loud voice; and silence, joined to the purity of the mind, surpasses the sound of a clamorous human voice. Now therefore, my dearest, offer me your mind and thought, and hear the power of pure prayer; see how the ancient righteous, our fathers, shone before God through their prayer, and how it existed for them as a pure sacrifice. For through prayer, sacrifices were accepted. This averted the flood, this healed barrenness, this routed armies, this revealed mysteries, this opened the sea and interrupted the Jordan, held back the sun, and caused the moon to stand still, destroyed the unclean, sent down fire, held back the sky, brought one out of the pit, saved one from the fire, and preserved one from the sea. And the power of prayer is of great excellence, just as the power of pure fasting is great.
