If we live right we are always praising God. When we turn aside from justice and from all that pleases God then we cease to pray. He tells us that to pray we must believe. If faith fails, prayer dies. And that the faith by which we pray may not fail, let us pray.
Faith pours forth in prayer.
And the prayer of faith poured forth obtains for us firmness in faith. Another way of praying always comes down to us from the Eastern tradition. It was about a pilgrim who searched for a way to pray continuously. The pilgrim prayed it a thousand times a day. Then the hermit had him pray it twelve-thousand times a day.
