"Nothing is equal to prayer; for what is impossible it makes possible, what is difficult, easy...For it is impossible, utterly impossible, for the man who prays eagerly and invokes God ceaselessly ever to sin."
-St. Alphonsus Ligouri

Prayer is an integral part of our lives as Catholics, for our faith is ultimately a relationship with God in the Three Persons of the Trinity. The way that we experience and enter into prayer is always transforming both with the new levels of growth we experience in our intimacy with the Lord and as a result of our busy daily schedules. Whether together physically in Mass or Adoration, or together in spirit, we strive to invite God into our daily lives to dwell with us, give us strength, and teach us how to love Him and His children more completely each and every day.
