Souls without prayer…
Souls without prayer are like bodies, palsied and lame, having hands and feet they cannot use.

The more you pray…
The more you pray, the more you will be illumined; the more you are illumined, the more profoundly and intensely you will see the Supreme Good, the supremely good Being. The more profoundly and intensely you see him, the more you will love him; the more you love him, the more he will delight you. And the more he delights you, the more you will understand him and become capable of understanding him. You will arrive successively to the fullness of light, because you will understand that you cannot understand.
–Saint Angela of Foligno (1248-1309)
