"It is in Christ that we find out who we are and
what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ,... he had his eyes on us, had designs on us for glorious living,
part of the overall purposes he is working out in everything and everyone." Ephesians 1:11

"Pray, pray and pray for it is the only means even in a situation where there is no exit."
Message of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Lourdes.

"Dead things cannot grow." There is no spiritual growth when there is no spiritual
life; and there is no spiritual life without prayer life. To neglect prayer causes spiritual dehydration. As Christ puts it,
"Watch and pray least you fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." (Mark 14:38)
