“Why should we pray? Well, why breathe? We have to take in fresh air and get rid of bad air; we have to take in new power and get rid of our old weaknesses. Just as a battery sometimes runs down and needs to be charged, so we have to be renewed in spiritual vigor. Our Blessed Lord said: “Without me you can do nothing.” O yes, we can eat and drink, and we can sin but we cannot do anything toward our supernatural merit and heaven without Him.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen
