If one prays, if he turns to God, then the Lord will give him vision, consciousness, and a sense of the need to deepen our lives. One who prays can no longer hate another, judge another, or consider another worse than himself, because he is now a son of God; because he turns to God when he says the Lord’s Prayer. With these words, one bears witness not only to his faith, but also to his Christian life. Living like this, in prayer, in constant remembrance of his calling, one senses the necessity of union with God. For the sake of this opportunity, he prays not only at home, but on Sundays and feast days, he hurries to common prayer in the house of God, so that here, with one mouth and with one heart, he might glorify his Creator, his Savior, his Provider, and might tie his voice together with those of the other faithful—whom he not only must love, but does love, in accordance with his calling.
