Evdokimov on prayer

In The Sacrament of Love (SVS Press, 1985), Paul Evdokimov makes the following comment on prayer:

It is not enough to say prayer, one must become, be prayer, prayer incarnate. It is not enough to have moments of praise. All of life, each act, every gesture, even the smile of the human face, must become a hymn of adoration, an offering, a prayer. One should offer not what one has, but what one is.
