Life 101

Those of us who have come to make regular use of prayer

Would no more do without it than we would refuse air, food, or sunshine.

And for the same reason.

When we turn away from meditation and prayer,

We likewise deprive our minds, our emotions, and our intuitions

Of vitally needed support.

As the body can fail its purpose

For lack of nourishment,

So can the soul.

We all need the light of God's reality,

The nourishment of His strength,

And the atmosphere of His grace.
