[Chrysostom]

You ask for silent prayers and a whole-hearted love of God. This is a holy desire, for the beginning and the end of all virtue is love. The commandment is not merely to love, but to love intensely: with all your heart, with all your soul. The whole work of God’s law is concisely completed in this. If love is the root and summit, what can equal it? Yet our Lord did not stop there; He added a second, like the first: to love your neighbor as yourself. For when this love for one another is absent, even the other profits little. So as you pray in silence, see that your love reaches outward, enfolding those around you with a soul on fire.

And do not think that love is merely a feeling of the heart. It is the wealth of the soul. A man is not rich who lacks this inner treasure; he is truly poor whose mind clings to worldly goods while his soul withers. The heart, rightly tempered, brings health to the whole being, just as its disorder mars everything. So when you ask to love God with your whole heart and soul, you are asking for the healing and right tempering of your inward self. Let the name of that innermost part, whether soul, heart, or mind, signify your entire life’s breath turned toward Him in devotion.

Silent prayer is a furnace where such love is kindled. Remember how the disciples, after they had prayed, were filled with the Holy Ghost and the place was shaken. They became inflamed, and the Gift burned within them. In that fire, they were made of one heart and one soul; no one claimed anything as his own, and great grace was upon them all. Do you see? Prayer enkindles love, and love draws tight the bonds of unity. Yet do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together, for love is increased by gathering, and earnest prayer is made by the people. Your silent prayers ascend most purely when your soul is joined to the Body of Christ.

Bear in mind the example of the Apostle: bold before fire and sword, harder than adamant, yet a few tears from those he loved broke and crushed him. “What do you do, weeping and breaking my heart?” he cried. Such is the force of spiritual love: it is the mind of God. It gives way to no season, it quenches every flame of trial like a heavenly dew. If you would love God with your whole heart, let this love conquer all that would distract or cool it. Let your affections be fastened there, so that neither tribulation nor anguish nor any other thing can separate you from that love.

Therefore continue in your prayer, and do not merely ask for silent words. Ask for the transformation of your soul, that you may be wealthy in God, obedient to the great commandment, and knit together with your brethren in one accord. For then the love of God will truly dwell in you, and like a debt you will render it back to all, with boldness and great grace.
