On prayer

Stealing this quote from Maria and, of course, from Pope Benedict XVI.

God's love can only unleash its power when it is allowed to change us from within. We have to let it break through the hard crust of our indifference, our spiritual weariness, our blind conformity to the spirit of this age. Only then can we let it ignite our imagination and shape our deepest desires. That is why prayer is so important: daily prayer, private prayer in the quiet of our hearts and before the Blessed Sacrament, and liturgical prayer in the heart of the Church.
– Pope Benedict XVI

Good quote re prayer and breaking out of indifference. I'll bear it in mind.
