Most Potent And Acceptable Prayer

The most potent and acceptable prayer is the prayer that leaves the best effects. I don't mean it must immediately fill the soul with desire...The best effects [are] those that are followed up by actions - when the soul not only desires the honor of God, but really strives for it. - Saint Teresa of Avila

Urged On By Love Of Christ To Proclaim The Good News Everywhere In The World

Those who with God's help have welcomed Christ's call and freely responded to it are urged on by love of Christ to proclaim the Good News everywhere in the world. This treasure, received from the apostles, has been faithfully guarded by their successors. All Christ's faithful are called to hand it on from generation to generation, by professing the faith, by living it in fraternal sharing, and by celebrating it in liturgy and prayer. - CCC 3

Spiritual Littleness

"Unless you go back and become like little children you shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven." This was another way of saying that no old people ever enter heaven; by "old" people is meant those who lack the simplicity of the child which prepares for faith.

Childlike simplicity, or spiritual littleness and humility, is the condition of discovering anything great. - Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Servant of God
