Dear friends,
We all need to pray, we all
need others to pray for us… Quite often, work, our concerns do
not allow us to take much time for prayer, to address our supplicas
to God.
Now, however, through the bishops, priests, religious friars and nuns
at Fraternite Notre Dame, you have men and women of prayer, dedicated
to prayer, supplication and adoration. They spend long moments in
prayer…
Therefore,
, you will not bother them, for each day,
during Holy Mass, the Divine Office, the Holy Rosary, Eucharistic
Adoration or meditation, their prayers shall ascend towards God for
you.
"Amen, I say to you, "that
whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to
you." Jesus Christ does not say: "I shall grant you this
or that", but he says "whatsoever", as long as it does
not hurt your salvation. How much should men esteem so magnificent
a promise!"
Louis de Grenade
"Prayer is man's almightiness
and God's weakness."
Saint Augustine
"The soul can speak to
God without raising her voice, because she is so close to Him that
she needs but moving her lips to make herself heard."
Saint Teresa of Avila
"Thrice blessed and thrice
sound, the life which can be summed up with these two holy words:
Work… Prayer."
Ségur
