Christ, Old Student in a New School (1972)
Context: Oh come, please come, to the Poor Mouth Fair
Where the Saints kneel round in their underwear
And say out prayers that most need saying
For needful sinners who've forgotten praying;
And in every alcove and niche you spy
The living dead who envy the long since gone
Who never wished to die.
“Those who pray take care of the most important of all.”
[Swami Tapasyananda, Swami Nikhilananda, Sri Sarada Devi, the Holy Mother; Life and Conversations, 363]
“A man who prays lives out the mystery of existence, and a man who does not pray scarcely exists.”
Love is a Radiant Light: The Life & Words of Saint Charbel (2019)
“Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.”
