Lenten Meditational Series: Imitation of the Sacred Heart Pt. 6
"Prayer Life"
Prayer is an aspiration of the heart, it is a simple glance directed to heaven, it is a cry of gratitude and love in the midst of trail as well as joy; finally, it is something great, supernatural, which expands my soul and unites me to Jesus.
--St.Therese of Lisieux
"Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you."
--St. Augustine
You pay God a compliment by asking great things of Him.
--St. Teresa of Avila
It is simply impossible to lead, without the aid of prayer, a virtuous life.
--Saint John Chrysostom
"There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers."
--St. teresa of Avila
Virtues are formed by prayer. Prayer preserves temperance. Prayer suppresses anger. Prayer prevents emotions of pride and envy. Prayer draws into the soul the Holy Spirit, and raises man to Heaven.
--Saint Ephraem of Syria
