There are some people who, in order not to pray use as an excuse the fact that life is so hectic that it prevents us from praying. This cannot be.

What matters is being with Him, living in Him, in His will. To love with a pure heart, to love everybody, especially to live the poor, is a twenty-four hour prayer.
