Textausschnitt: In a static view of the universe, we petitioned God to intervene in the world to help people. It was a kind of efficient causality. But now that we realize how God heals, namely through the gifts of love in our hearts and of Christ Jesus in our history, our prayer envisions healing as a formal and participative causality. We pray that God flood hearts with love, and with the corresponding gifts of faith and hope.
