Quotes About Prayer

But being overborne with numbers, and nobody daring to face about, stretching out his hands to heaven, [Romulus] prayed to Jupiter to stop the army, and not to neglect but maintain the Roman cause, now in extreme danger.

We have to let God's love break through the hard crust of our indifference, our spiritual weariness, our blind conformity to the spirit of this age. Only then can we let it ignite our imagination and shape our deepest desires. That is why prayer is so important: daily prayer, private prayer in the quiet of our hearts and before the Blessed Sacrament, and liturgical prayer in the heart of the Church.
~ Pope Benedict XVI
You are called to exercise the Spirit's gifts amidst the ups and downs of your daily life. Let your faith mature through your studies, work, sports, music and art. Let it be sustained by prayer and nurtured by the sacraments.
~ Pope Benedict XVI

Of all human activities, man's listening to God is the supreme act of his reasoning and will.
~ Pope Paul VI
The world calls for and expects from us simplicity of life, the spirit of prayer, charity towards all, especially towards the lowly and the poor, obedience and humility... Without this mark of holiness, our word will have difficulty in touching the heart of modern man. It risks being vain and sterile.
~ Pope Paul VI
If every man, as much as he can and as best he can, will work for justice and peace in the world, then each Christian will have at heart the request that Mary pray with us and for us, so that the peace the Lord alone can give may be granted us.
~ Pope Paul VI

There is naught on which it does not bite, nor does it ever grow dull of edge. Venom is in the steel, and the wounds it gives cannot be healed by leechcraft or magic or prayer. Yet this is the curse on it: that every time it is drawn it must drink blood, and that in the end, somehow, it brings the bane of him who uses it'.
~ Poul Anderson

All we can do is pray, Ma, pray. No, Child, these are the deeds of human beings. Planned by the brains of humans, and by the warped hearts of humans. It is to people we must speak our words. God has never sided with the defeated.
~ Pramoedya Ananta Toer
Lebih baik dan paling baik adalah memohon kepada ALlah, sampai berapalah kekuasaan manusia, apalagi orang kulit pulih pula.

Aku semakin banyak berdoa, karena hanya itulah yang dapat kuusahakan, berdoa dan berdoa. Kalau hati dan pikiran manusia sudah tak mampu mencapai lagi, bukankah hanya pada Tuhan juga orang berseru?
~ Pramoedya Ananta Toer

~ Priscilla Shirer
