Sometimes the best answers to prayer are the ones God doesnt answer.

Prayers are to men as dolls are to children.

Spirituality without a prayer life is no spirituality at all and it will not last beyond the first defeats. Prayer is an opening of the self so that the Word of God can break in and make us new. Prayer unmasks. Prayer converts. Prayer impels. Prayer sustains us on the way. Pray for the grace it will take to continue what you would like to quit.

If I ask God to punish my enemy with vengeful prayersthen He is fair to allow the enemy to do the same for me.

When man is with God in awe and love then he is praying.

Catholics have more extreme sex lives because theyre taught that pleasure is bad for you. Who thinks its normal to kneel down to a naked man whos nailed to a cross Its like a bad leather bar.

Writing is prayer.
