Sister Jeanette, a Mercedarian Sister, compared praying and spending that time to be with Jesus to tanning. When you are at the beach, enjoying the sun and surf, you don't notice that you're tanning, but you are. Look at yourself in the mirror.
Think of Jesus as our sun. When we spend the time to be with Him, Jesus is working on your soul, like the sun works on your skin. You aren't aware, but it is happening.
