Prayer and Devotion: Great Requisites

Prayer plays a very essential part in the spiritual progress of an individual or an organisation. There is a very great emphasis on the routine and habit of personal prayer. Also, community prayers bring respite and favour from God in hopeless, nagging situations.

Have a prayer routine

Many Saints had a very rigid prayer routine. One of them was St Therese of Lisieux. Her family observed that she was very particular about her not being nonchalant with the same.

The Saints generally were thus. And many holy people too ensured the faithful were not lukewarm in their prayer life. St Louis Montfort was thus  and he made sure they adhered to his teachings too.

He never minced words or was on the leeside regarding the same. Otherwise, he won’t preach to them anymore.

Rigidity to these is very essential.
