“The life of prayer is not reserved for a religious elite: it is for everyone.  Whatever difficulties we may have, we must believe firmly that all people — wise and ignorant, just and sinners, well-balanced and deeply wounded — are called to an authentic life of prayer in which God will communicate himself to us.  And since it is God who calls us, he will give everyone the graces needed to persevere in mental prayer and make the life of prayer a deep, marvelous experience of communions with his inner life.”
