A podcast from the diocese of Colorado Springs

“Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us. The important thing is not to think much but to love much and so do that which best stirs you to love. Love is not great delight but desire to please God in everything.”

-St. Teresa of Avila

 

“You go to pray; to become a bonfire, a living flame, giving light and heat.”

-St. Josemaria Escriva

“Through prayer we receive a foretaste of heaven and something of paradise comes down upon us. Prayer never leaves us without sweetness. It is honey that flows into the souls and makes all things sweet. When we pray properly, sorrows disappear like snow before the sun.”

-St. John Vianney
