Love is kindled in a flame, and ardency is its life. Flame is the air which true Christian experience breathes. It feeds on fire it can withstand anything rather than a feeble flame but when the surrounding atmosphere is frigid or lukewarm, it dies, chilled and starved to its vitals. True prayer must be aflame.
