— St. John Chrysostom
“We must meditate before, during and after everything we do. The prophet says: “I will pray, and then I will understand.” This is the way we can easily overcome the countless difficulties we have to face day after day, which, after all, are part of our work. In meditation we find the strength to bring Christ to birth in ourselves and in others.”
— Saint Charles Borromeo
“You pay God a compliment by asking great things of Him.”
— St. Teresa of Avila

— St. Ignatius of Loyola
“Have confidence in prayer. It is the unfailing power which God has given us. By means of it you will obtain the salvation of the dear souls whom God has given you and all your loved ones.” Ask and you shall receive,” Our Lord said. Be yourself with the good Lord.”
— Saint Peter Julian Eymard
