Prayer is the opening of the soul to God so that he can speak to us.

Prayer is essentially a process by which ideals are enabled to become operative in our lives. It may be more than this, but it is at least this.

Life is a continual alternation of rest and action, of the need of comfort and the need of power.

Eternal life is personal existence in continuity with the present life, but transfigured.

To keep God at the center of one's life requires frequent renewal of power through prayer.
