Communion Reflections
 

The power of prayer

I am neither a man of letters nor of science, but I humbly claim to be a man of prayer. It is prayer that has saved my life. Without it I would have lost my reason long ago.

If I did not lose my peace of soul, in the midst of my many trials, it is because of the peace that came to me through prayer. One can live several days without food, but not without prayer.

Prayer is the key to each morning, and the lock to each evening. It is a sacred alliance between God and us. It delivers us from the clutches of the prince of darkness. We have to choose either to ally ourselves with the forces of evil or with the forces of good.

Let everyone try this experience, and they will find that daily prayer will add something new to their lives, something which cannot be found elsewhere. This is my sacred teaching. (Mahatma Gandhi)
