The root-trouble of the present distress is that the Church has more faith in the world and the flesh than in the Holy Ghost.
Communion is deeper than theology.
The prayer that prevails is not the work of lips and fingertips. It is the cry of a broken heart and the travail of a stricken soul.
Hurry is the death of Prayer.
A gift without a heart behind it is a bribe. God asks for our heart, not our gifts.
Prayer turns ordinary mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God.
