We pray, we recite prayers to express what we are thinking, and to produce in ourselves what we are saying. What matters is the interior religion, contrary to the Pharisees. One of our resolutions should be to live the prayer we are saying. Let us not be mindless in our prayer, daydreamers all the time, automatons.

* 10:30 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Vocal prayer is what we can do just ourselves, like the recitation of the rosary or of various prayers which we can say at home. It can be individual or in community. It moves us to interior devotion. It renders to God His due, because the body takes part, as well. It is normal that the body participate in prayer. Vocal prayer is in a way the overflowing of devotion, with devotion being the interior aspect, vocal prayer being the external aspect. So vocal prayer can and should increase our devotion.

* 09:10 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre:
To understand the place of prayer in the economy of salvation, we have to know that God foresees not only the actions He wants us to carry out, but He also determines the causes by which they are to be produced, causes which include our own activity but also our prayers. Nothing escapes Him, obviously, not a single one of our thoughts, not a single one of our acts. All of that enters the Providence of God. Thus, in the body of the article, St. Thomas explains, “We pray, not that we may change the Divine disposition, but that we may impetrate that which God has disposed to be fulfilled by our prayers, in other words 'that by asking, men may deserve to receive what Almighty God from eternity has disposed to give.'”

* 07:45 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre:
Prayer is very simply that ascension of our soul toward its Creator and Redeemer; it is something natural to the simple, upright soul. It takes the habit of sin, which is opposed to that elevation of the soul toward God, for prayer to become a pure formality; it takes the pride of the mind, nourished on fables and sophistry, for man to become ashamed to pray.

In the prayer of the Pater, our Lord says that the will of God must be done on earth as in Heaven. And He summarizes the whole Sermon on the Mount by saying, “You therefore are to be perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt. 5:48). So God is asking us for a very great perfection. He is very demanding for us. And in calling us to that immense charity, He is also giving us the means to accomplish it. Those means He gives to us primarily through prayer. If we wish to be perfect, we have to pray.
