“‘How can you define prayer,’ writes Catherine Doherty, ‘except by saying that it is love? It is love expressed in speech and love expressed in silence. … Perhaps, we are really asking about how to love. After all, prayer is simply an expression of our love.’

‘There is not a time to pray and a time not to pray. To pray is to pray always. You hold the hand of God. Sometimes you talk to him, sometimes you don’t, but you are with him all the time. … Prayer is simply the communication that constantly passes between you and the Lord.’”
