It is good to have a prayer on your lips wherever you go. There are so many moments in life when you are free to pray. When you are waiting for the cashier in the supermarket, getting mad because he or she doesn't hurry, say a little prayer: 'Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.' Take that prayer with you wherever you go.

Henri NouwenThe difference between rich and poor is not that the rich sin is more than the poor, that the rich find it easier to call sin a virtue.
