In God’s name I beseech you let prayer nourish your soul as your meals
nourish your body. Let your fixed seasons of prayer keep you in God’s
presence through the day, and His presence frequently remembered though
it be an ever-fresh spring of prayer. Such a brief, loving recollection
of God renews a man’s whole being, quiets his passions, supplies light
and counsel in difficulty, gradually subdues the temper, and causes him
to possess his soul in patience, or rather gives it up to the possession
of God.
—François
Fénelon, 17th century theologian and writer
