Time spent in prayer…
Time spent in prayer is never wasted.
–François Fénèlon (1651-1715)
Offer fervent prayer while…
It is possible to offer fervent prayer even while walking in public or strolling alone, or seated in your shop…while buying or selling…or even while cooking.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
Seek God early…
If we do not actively seek God early in the morning,
it will be very unlikely that we meet him later in the day.
–Brother Andrew [Anne van der Bijl] (1928-
By interior recollection…
By interior recollection we retire into God, or draw God within ourselves. But when and where can we have recourse to it? At all times, and in all places.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Pray urgently and often…
Jesus told us to pray urgently and often, so that our prayers should not belong and tedious but short, earnest and frequent. Long elaborate prayers overflow with pointless phrases, and long gaps between prayers even stretch out into complete neglect.
–Saint Ambrose of Milan (339-397)
Pray at all times…
There is no one who cannot pray – and pray at all times and in all places; by night or day, when hard at work or resting; in the country, at home, or when travelling.
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
