16 Every other means of defense can turn into a
14

harmful weapon when we do not know how to
use it prudently. But the weapon of humble and
persevering prayer never fails to achieve its purpose. (Letters
33)

15
Let us pray a lot and from the heart. Let us pray even
when we do not feel like praying, let us pray even in
dryness of spirit. Let us pray to the good God to teach
us to love Him and to finally put an end to our lukewarmness.
(Letters 33)

16
My our mouths be always full of Gods praises,
beginning here on earth the hymn of praise and
thanksgiving which we hope to continue eternally in
Heaven. (Writings 355)

17
Next to the Eucharist, communion of prayer is the
most consoling article of faith found in the Creed. All
others make us fear; this one instead places in our
hands the powerful means to do violence, so to speak, to God’s
mercy. (Letters 7)

Let us make use of this great means which is reciprocal
prayer. Let us link together our prayers, and may the
angel mercy hold them in account in the awesome book
of atonement. (Letters 7)

19
Is it not a beautiful means we have of joining in
conversation by reciprocal prayer, as good colleagues in
the ministry, whenever we have an audience with the
King of immortal glory? (Letters 34)

20
The solidarity of good works among us priests is the only
resource left to us in these times when our sphere of

action is so limited. (Letters 22)
