Intercession is more than specific: it is pondered: it requires us to bear on our heart the burden of those for whom we pray.

For a man to argue, 'I don't go to church; I pray alone,' is no wiser than if he should say, 'I have no use for symphonies; I believe only in solo music.'

Prayer is not a substitute for work, thinking, watching, suffering, or giving; prayer is a support for all other efforts.

We need deliberately to call to mind the joys of our journey. Perhaps we should try to write down the blessings of one day. We might begin; we could never end; there are not pens or paper enough in all the world.

Faith is the response of our spirits to beckonings of the eternal.
