The soul that reduces prayer to the minimum remains asphyxiated; if it excludes all invocation, it is slowly strangled.

The Encounter: Discovering God Through Prayer (2014)

Prayer is also an art, an exercise of beauty, of song, of inner liberation. It is ascesis and ascent, it is a rigorous effort, but also a gentle and free flight of the soul toward God.
