9 In this section you’ll find excerpts from the Psalms that can provide inspiration for the five great stages of prayer. The words of the Psalms are the prayer of God’s people and of Christ himself. They are a mirror of the soul of every person who turns to God. They give voice to the different states of mind you may be going through. You can say them or sing them at any time, in the deepest night or in the brightest hour. “There is no aspect of the interior life, no kind of religious experience, no spiritual need of man that is not depicted and lived out in the Psalms" (Thomas Merton, Praying the Psalms).
