“Grace isn't a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It's a way to live.”

“Unless, before then, the prayer assist me which rises from a heart that lives in grace: what avails the other, which is not heard in heaven?”

“Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.”

“I don't really believe in settling down. That term implies that the current path I'm on isn't valid. It's not always about living your life the way people have lived before you.”

“It is of primary importance to attune with God through prayer, worship and the chanting of God's holy names … Then God Himself will give you good guidance.”

“Not prayer without faith, nor faith without prayer, but prayer in faith, is the cost of spiritual gifts and graces.”

“And what guidance did you receive for all your prayers, lady?”

“Prayer is the exercise of drawing on the grace of God.”

“True prayer requires no word, no chant
no gesture, no sound.
It is communion, calm and still
with our own godly Ground”

“Haste thee on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer,
Heaven's eternal day's before thee;
God's own hand shall guide thee there.”
