The Holy Hour becomes…
The Holy Hour becomes like an oxygen tank to revive the breath of the Holy Spirit in the midst of the foul and fetid atmosphere of the world.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Pray without tiring…
We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend on material success; nor on sciences that cloud the intellect. Neither does it depend on arms and human industries, but on Jesus alone.
–Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917)
A type of prayer…
As for meditation, I would like you to be a disciple of prayer, because without prayer there is no habitual union with God. You need a type of prayer which is suited to your temperament, your situation, your inner inclination, consequently, your heart.
–Saint Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868)
Prayer is the only…
I feel a great attraction toward prayer… It is the only means of purifying us, of uniting us to God, and of allowing God to unite himself to us and be glorified in us. We must pray to obtain the apostolic virtues; pray that we may use them to help others, and pray also that we may not lose them while serving others.
–Saint Claude de la Colombiere (1641-1682)
Prayer is the key…
Prayer is the best weapon we possess. It is the key that opens the heart of God.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
In books and prayers…
In books we seek God; in prayer we find him.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
