“Watch, therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” Matthew 25:1-13
“When the lamp begins to weaken, we have to recharge the battery. What is the Christian’s oil? What is the Christian’s battery to produce light? Simply prayer. You can do many things, many works, even works of mercy, you can do many great things for the Church – a Catholic university, a school, a hospital… and they will even make you a monument as a benefactor of the Church, but if you do not pray, all this will not bring light. How many works become something dark, for lack of light, for lack of prayer of the heart.”
(Cf. Homily of H.H. Francis, June 10, 2016, at Santa Marta).
