"The sage philosopher Cicero, in his treatise on the Virtues, says they are so beauteous in themselves that, were it possible for men to behold them with corporeal eyes, he would become so exeedingly enamored with them as to undertake anything, how difficult soever, in order to get possession of them. I may say the same thing of Prayer--it is so beauteous and lovely in itself that there is no person who could comprehend the benefit and sweetness of it that would not become so exceedingly enamored with it that he would never cease to pray." Bishop James O'Gallagher, from a sermon in the book Ancient and Modern Masterpieces of the Leading Lights of the Catholic Church.
