Saint Lawrence of Brindisi on Prayer

Oh, if we were to consider this reality, that God is truly present to us when we speak to him in prayer; that he truly listens to our prayers, even if we pray only with our hearts and minds. …[N]ot only is he present and hears us, indeed he willingly and with the greatest of pleasure wishes to grant our requests.

— St. Lawrence of Brindisi
