Prayer: Peter Faber, S.J.

He who in spirit is seeking God through his good works will find Him later in prayer better than if he had not engaged in these good works. I mean, this is what frequently happens. If we seek God above all in prayer, we find Him later in the good works. Therefore he who seeks and finds the spirit of Christ in works progresses in a manner much more solid than he who occupies himself only with prayer. I might even say that one who possesses Christ through the practice of good works and one who possesses Him in prayer are like one who possesses Him in fact and one who possesses Him in affection.
