| | Conference on Prayer by Abbot Marmion, O.S.B. |
 | | The essential element of prayer is the supernatural contact of the soul with God whence it imbibes that Divine life that is the source of all holiness. |
 | | Prayer is, then, the expression, under the action of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, of the sentiments that result from our Divine adoption in Jesus Christ; and that is why it is accessible to every baptized soul of good will. |
 | | During prayer itself, we ought not to disturb ourselves about the distractions we may happen to have, but remain faithful, and lead the mind gently back without violence, by the aid of a book if needful, to the subject that should be occupying us. |
