That is a Heresy… Believe me, my dear friends; believe an experience ripened by 30 years in the sacred ministry. l do here affirm that all deceptions, all spiritual deceptions, all miseries, all falls, all faults, and even the most serious wanderings out of the right path, proceed from this single source: a want of constancy in prayer. Live the life of prayer, learn to bring everything to, to change everything, into prayers --- pains and trials, and temptations of all kinds. Pray in the calm, pray in the storm, pray on awakening, pray during the day time, going and coming, pray; tired out and distracted, pray; whatsoever your repugnance may be, pray; pray, that you may learn to pray, “Lord teach us to pray” “But I cannot pray” That is a heresy. Yes, you can always pray. If you feel disgust --- nay, a horror --- of prayer, pray on, pray in spite of yourself, against yourself. Beg for the courage in prayer which our agonizing Saviour merited for you by His pangs in Gethsemane, and on Calvary. Pray! For prayer is the strength which saves, the courage which perseveres, the mystic bridge cast over the abyss which joins the soul to God. “And being in an agony, He prayed the longer” [St. Luke, XXII, 43]+ By Rev. Fr. De Ravignan, S.J.
