"Touch is the most basic sense in man-the first to come, the last to leave-and it is all-pervasive. God is present to us from the very first instant that He calls us into being-and thenceforth forever! He touches us at every point and level of or being. God is present to us. But are we present to Him? Daily and many times a day-we need to touch Him, we need to experience His all-presence and be present to our true selves to Him. The air is all about us, touching us at every pont of our body-but how much of the time are we unconscious of its touch. So it is with God. When Christ told us to pray without ceasing He was calling us to come into awareness of what is, to be present to His constant all-pervasive communication of Himself to us."In this book we offer a few practical excersises to help us do this. In themselves they ask little of us. Perhaps the greatest asceticism they ask is making room for them in our busy lives, which often enough do actually make room for a lot of less fruitful, even inconsequential things. But simple though these practices are, they can and will, if pursued with some fidelity, profoundly change and enrich our lives."
