The supreme act of worship is to keep the commandments, to follow in the footsteps of the Son of God, to do ever those things that please Him.

We are trying not so much to make God listen to us as to make ourselves listen to him; we are trying not to persuade God to do what we want, but to find out what he wants us to do.

The first object of prayer is not so much to speak to God as to listen to him.
