PRAYER

Pray constantly
St. Paul, Thessalonians 5:17

Learning to pray either vocally or wordlessly is a gradual learning process.  It is important to make the effort to develop a discipline about keeping up a regular practice of prayer and meditation.  We pray in order to develop our relationship with God.
Freddie Nikoloff, Monastery of the Ascension Oblate Handbook

Prayer . . .  is not an exercise in recitation.  It is the filter through which we view our worlds. . . . To pray only when we feel like it is more to seek consolation than to risk conversion.  To pray only when it feels good is to court total emptiness when we most need to be filled.  The hard fact is nobody finds time for prayer.  The time must be taken.
Sr. Joan Chittester, Wisdom Distilled from the Daily
