Time and Effort are not Wasted

Bishop Basil Hume 

“Our part of prayer is to try to raise our minds and hearts to God, to spend time making the effort.  “Trying to pray” is prayer, and it is very good prayer. The will to try is also his gift."

To Be a Pilgrim, Chapter: Prayer

["'Trying to pray' is prayer..." helped me more than anything else I read or heard last week. God sees our intention and not our accomplishment. What a relief.]
