To Pray Is To Take Notice Of

Spiritual Life Begins To Decay When We Fail To Sense The Grandeur Of What Is Eternal In Time.

The Opposite Of Good Is Not Evil, The Opposite Of Good Is Indifference.

The Anchor Of Meaning Resides In An Abyss, Deeper Than The Reach Of Despair. Yet The Abyss Is Not Not Infinite; Its Bottom May Suddenly Be Discovered Within The Confines Of A Human Heart Or Under The Debris Of Might Doubts. This May Be The Vocation Of Man: To Say "amen" To Being And To The Author Of Being; To Live In Defiance Of Absurdity, Notwithstanding Futility And Defeat; To Attain Faith In God Even In Spite Of God.

The Primary Purpose Of Prayer Is Not To Make Requests. The Primary Purpose Is To Praise, To Sing, To Chant. Because The Essence Of Prayer Is A Song, And Man Cannot Live Without A Song. Prayer May Not Save Us. But Prayer May Make Us Worthy Of Being Saved.

Our Age Is One In Which Usefulness Is Thought To Be The Chief Merit Of Nature; In Which The Attainment Of Power, The Utilization Of Its Resources Is Taken To Be The Chief Purpose Of Man In God's Creation. Man Has Indeed Become Primarily A Tool-making Animal, And The World Is Now A Gigantic Tool Box For The Satisfaction Of His Needs.
