‘Prayer’ is a series of short talks on prayer which Michael Mayne gave at Westminster abbey in 1996. It was privately published as a booklet with the title Something Understood. With great economy and elegance, one the greatest spiritual writers of the last century writes practically, simply, briefly and beautifully about prayer. Prayer is not primarily something one does. Prayer is something that is. It is in God that we live and
move and have our being. God is always in us, waiting to be released into expression.
All the different techniques and ways of prayer are reminders, alerting us that every moment of our life is lived in the presence of God.
