Meister Eckhart on prayer: "If the only prayer you ever say is 'thank you,' that will be enough"

What Eckhart has to say about prayer is surprising. Does he really say that we should be "free" of prayer? Dr. Johnson answers this question and talks about what Eckhart says prayer should be by discussing and showing original texts. Dr. Johnson teaches philosophy at Georgia Tech. He is the author of Paradox at Play: Metaphor in Meister Eckhart's Sermons by Catholic University of America Press. It includes many sermons never before translated into English in DW IV.2, numbered 87-109 (as well as 54a, 52, 2, 24 and 40).
