“If you make a habit of sincere prayer, your life will be very noticeably and profoundly altered. Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquillity of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. Within the depths of consciousness a flame kindles. And man sees himself. He discovers his selfishness, his silly pride, his fears, his greeds, his blunders. He develops a sense of moral obligation, intellectual humility. Thus begins a journey of the soul toward the realm of grace.” IfsMenSoulActionPrayerConsciousnessMoralGraceJourneyHumilityPrideHabitIntellectualMarkDepthGreedSelfishSillyObligationSelfishnessFlamesRealmsSincereStampsOur ActionsAlteredReposeInner LifeBlundersKindlesFacialTranquillityMoral ObligationIndelibleDemeanorIntellectual HumilitySincere Prayer Author:Alexis Carrel
