Consequently, prayer is a matter of love. Man expresses love through prayer, and if we pray, it is an indication that we love God. If we do not pray this indicates we do not love God, for the measure of our prayer is the measure of our love for God.
– Archimandrite Zacharias, The Hidden Man of the Heart, 68

With each of our prayers we take our place among the communion of saints and the many voices and prayers become one voice and one prayer.
With Holy Week blessings and Easter joy,
