Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.

Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.

Of all things, guard against neglecting God in the secret place of prayer.

The key is - I'll say the key - number one, I pray every day.

Every one should find some suitable time, day or night, to sink into his depths, each according to his own fashion. Not every one is able to engage in contemplative prayer.

Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.

Prayer is the spirit speaking truth to Truth.

Prayer is where the action is.

For me, it is essential to have the inner peace and serenity of prayer in order to listen to the silence of God, which speaks to us, in our personal life and the history of our times, of the power of love.

Do not neglect secret prayer, for it is the soul of religion.
