Prayer and study

Peter J. Leithart, February 13, 2007

Responding to the Rosenstock-Huessy quotation about prayer and research, Eric Enlow of the Handong International Law School sent this from Simone Weil:

"Students must therefore work without any wish to gain good marks, to pass examinations; to win school successes; without any reference to their natural abilities and tastes; applying themselves equally to all their tasks with the idea that each one will help to form in them the habit of that attention which is the substance of prayer."
