"Prayer is the protection of holy souls, a consolation for the guardian angel, an insupportable torment to the devil, a most acceptable homage to God, the best and most perfect praise for penitents and virgins, the greatest honour and glory, the preserver of spiritual health." (Augustine: Letter to Proba)
"Holy prayer is the column of all virtues, a ladder to God, the support of widows, the foundation of faith, the crown of virgins, the sweetness of the married life. (Sermon 22: Ad Fratres in eremo apud St Aug.)
