“My brothers and sisters, it is quite simple: without the life of prayer we are nothing, and our time in this world is vain and futile… If, then, we wish to imitate the faith of those who have gone before us, if we wish not only to honor their memory but also to lay hold on the inheritance they so labored to leave us, then we must begin and end with one thing, and one thing only: the life of prayer.”
