"Man has [but] one noble office: that of praying and loving. [So] pray, love: that is the happiness of man on earth!"
. . .
"We had become unworthy to pray, but God in his goodness has permitted us to speak with him. Our prayer is an incense that he receives with an extreme pleasure."
"L'homme a une belle fonction: celle de prier et de aimer. . . Vous priez, vous aimez: voilà le bonheur de l'homme sur la terre!"
. . .
"Nous avions mérité de ne pas prier; mais Dieu, dans sa bonté, nous a permis de lui parler. Notre prière est un encens qu’il reçoit avec un extreme plaisir."
