“The value of consistent prayer is not that [God] will hear us, but that we will hear Him.”
“It is not God who is too busy to hear us, it is we who are too busy to hear God.”
“When God hears us worshipping Him, that alone makes Him feel worthwhile to be God!”
“Let us be silent, that we may hear the whisper of God.”
“We must unceasingly ask for [perseverance] by making use of the means which God has taught us for obtaining it: prayer, fasting, almsgiving, frequenting the sacraments, association with good companions, and hearing and reading Holy Scripture.”
“Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.”
