And though thou be at prayer, or at thy devotions, that thou thinkest loth to break off, for that thou thinkest that thou oughtest not leave God for to speak with anyone, I think not so in this case, for if thou be wise thou shalt not leave God, but thou shalt find Him, and have Him, and see Him, in thy neighbour, as well as in prayer, only in another manner. (John Climacus)

If we would find ourselves, we will engage others.

If we would know God, we will open ourselves to others.

If we would ask for God's blessing, we will ask our neighbors what they need.

Prayer is listening for God, we can begin by listening to our neighbor.

Worship is serving God, we can begin by serving our neighbor.

"I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40)
