Prayer works in the mind as a healing force. It calms the patient, enlightens the physician, guides the surgeon, and it often victoriously applies the power of the spirit when all seems lost. It proves, over and over again, the truth of Tennyson's words: "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of." Prayer puts us on God's side. It aligns us with life's higher purposes, aims, and ideals. Prayer is dedicating our thought, feeling and action to the expression of goodness. It is to become like a window through which the light of God shines.

In cathedral or cottage, the art of worship is an inner adventure; it is the personal practice of the presence of God.

By the grace of God you are what you are; glory in your selfhood, accept yourself and go on from there.

Take time for good books; time to absorb the thoughts of poets and philosophers, seers and prophets.

It is time to browse through the precious books that have meant the most to you that you may rediscover illuminating phrases and sentences to light your pathway to the future.

Champion the right to be yourself; dare to be different and to set your own pattern, live your own life, and follow your own star.

Forgiveness works the miracle of change.
