Abraham listened to God. He was willing to set out for wherever God commanded and to do what God willed. By his listening and his readiness to make a new start, he is a model for our prayer.
Not many prayers of
Abraham have been handed down. But wherever he went, he set up altars, places of
prayer, to God. And so, along the journey of his life he had many sorts of
experiences with God, including some that tried and unsettled him.
When Abraham
saw that God was going to destroy the sinful city of Sodom, he pleaded for it.
He even wrestled stubbornly with God. His plea for Sodom is the first great intercessory
prayer in the history of the People of God.
Contemplata aliis tradere. (To contemplate and to give to others
the fruits of contemplation.)
Motto of the Dominican Order
CONTEMPLATION
