Since the beginning of the world, a prayer is a prayer and a curse is a curse-- no matter the people-- no matter the language-- Man has given a thousand different namesto his god, but look into the face of each one-- long enough-- hard enough-- You will find one truth.
Mike MignolaIf all else fails, we then factor (fall) into our equation. And pray hard, someone factors (catching us) into theirs.

You do not have to wait until you become a saint. [Prayer] is the way to become a saint.
Peter KreeftIt is true, as John Bunyan said, that God infinitely prefers a heart without words to words without a heart when we pray.
Peter KreeftI guarantee you that after you die you will not say 'I spent too much time praying; I wish I had watched more TV instead.
Peter KreeftThe saints, too, had wandering minds. The saints, too, had constantly to recall their constantly wandering mind-child home. They became saints because they continued to go after the little wanderer, like the Good Shepherd.

There is something in us that fears prayer as a maggot fears light. We must do violence to this voice, for it is not ourselves. It is our Enemy.

Reading a book about something can be an obstacle to doing it because it gives you the impression that you are doing what you are only thinking about doing. It is tempting to remain in the comfortable theater of our imagination instead of the real world, to fall in love with the idea of becoming a saint and loving God and neighbor instead of doing the actual work, because the idea makes no demands on you. It is like a book on a shelf. But, as Dostoyevsky says, 'love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared to love in dreams' (The Brothers Karamazov).
Peter KreeftOne common cause of this mistake of preferring to imagine and admire a great ideal instead of beginning to do little deeds is our impatience with little baby steps, our lack of humility.
