We must pray too because we are
fragile and culpable. We need to admit
humbly and truly that we are poor creatures, with confused ideas…We are fragile
and weak, and in constant need of interior strength and consolation. Prayer gives us strength for great ideals,
for keeping up our faith, charity, purity, generosity; prayer gives us strength
to rise up from indifference and guilt, if we have had the misfortune to give
in to temptation and weakness. Prayer
gives light by which to see and judge from God’s perspective and from eternity. That
is why you must not give up praying! Don’t let a day go by without praying a
little! Prayer is a duty, but it is also a joy because it is a dialogue with
God through Jesus Christ!
St. John Paul II
