Through prayer, man is preserved from sin because the praying mind is intent on God and in a humble spirit stands before the face of the Lord, known only by the praying soul.

Attraverso la preghiera l'uomo è preservato dal peccato perché la mente che prega è intenta in Dio e con spirito umile sta davanti al volto del Signore, conosciuto solo dall'anima in preghiera.
