So absorbed with God…
He prays well who is so absorbed with God that he does not know he is praying.
— Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Listening in prayer…
In prayer, more is accomplished by listening than by talking.
— Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Talk with God…
You write, “To pray is to talk with God. But about what?” About what? About Him, about yourself—joys, sorrows, successes and failures, noble ambitions, daily worries, weaknesses! And acts of thanksgiving and petitions—and Love and reparation. In a word, to get to know him and to get to know yourself—”to get acquainted!”
— Saint Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975)
How to pray…
You don’t know how to pray? Put yourself in the presence of God, and as soon as you have said, ‘Lord, I don’t know how to pray!” you can be sure you have already begun.
— Saint Josemaria Escriva (1902-1975)
The only way to pray…
The only way to pray is to pray; and the way to pray well is to pray much. If one has no time for this, then one must at least pray
regularly. But the less one prays, the worse it goes.
–John Chapman (1865-1933)
Pray as you can…
Pray as you can, not at you can’t.
–John Chapman (1865-1933)
