主啊，我軟弱無能，只是個罪人；但祢是仁慈的，是永恆的智慧，我依靠祢，我希望從祢獲得一切。我們誦念〈成功的秘訣〉很有用處。(APD56, 23) It is very useful to recite the “Secret of Success”: Lord, I am nothing, I am very much a sinner, but you are mercy itself, eternal wisdom, knowledge, […]

要不斷祈禱。正如必須吃飯才能生存一樣，我們也必須時時祈禱，好讓我們的精神生活不會死亡，反倒強壯有力。(APD56, 60) Our prayer must be persevering. Just as we must always eat to live, so we must always pray so that our spiritual life would not die and, instead, […]

天主應允我們的祈禱，按照我們的信德尺度。我們對祈禱的信心決定了天主賜予恩寵的多寡：「願照你所信的，成就在你身上」。有信德的，禱聲將蒙垂聽。(APD56, 59) Faith. The Lord hears us according to the measure of faith. The faith we bring to our prayers is the one that determines the quantity of God’s graces: […]

意志優先，其次是祈禱……有良好的意願，又用心行動並努力祈禱，如果具備這兩個條件，那麼我們就會進步，步伐就會邁進。(APD 56, 46) First, the will; second, prayer... If these two conditions are met, goodwill on the one hand and a well-made and abundant prayer on the other, then one […]

祈禱是生活中最重要的。誘惑可能讓你想：「我工作很多、太忙了。」但對你來說祈禱是最優先的工作。對修會的主要貢獻就是祈禱。(CSP, 98)
