Famous Gianfranco Ravasi Quotes

“Faith, like love, does not take up only a few hours of existence, but is its soul, its constant breathing.”

Gianfranco Ravasi

“The soul that reduces prayer to the minimum remains asphyxiated; if it excludes all invocation, it is slowly strangled.”

Gianfranco Ravasi

Source: The Encounter: Discovering God Through Prayer (2014), Ch. 1

“Prayer is also an art, an exercise of beauty, of song, of inner liberation. It is ascesis and ascent, it is a rigorous effort, but also a gentle and free flight of the soul toward God.”
