20    Life, VIII   |        had still the courage to pray. I say courage, because
21    Life, VIII   |      seems to me that those who pray arc in His presence in a

25    Life, VIII   |      own cost; for of those who pray, God Himself defrays the
26    Life, VIII   |        have been.~18. I used to pray to our Lord for help; but,
27    Life, IX     |      well that it was lawful to pray for it; but it seemed to
28    Life, XII    |  continually, and speak to Him, pray to Him in its necessities,
29    Life, XIII   |      hinders those who begin to pray from going onwards, by suggesting
30    Life, XIII   |        when we set ourselves to pray. Believe me in this, for
31    Life, XIII   | disturbs them, that they cannot pray. The greatest evil of all
32    Life, XIII   |       counsellors for those who pray: that is a delusion. I have
33    Life, XIV    |         what to do, or wish, or pray for. It seems to find all
34    Life, XV     |         are so near Him, and to pray to His Majesty for mercies,
35    Life, XV     |    souls is, when they begin to pray, to begin also to detach
36    Life, XIX    |       them to others,255 and to pray to God that itself may not

38    Life, XX     |        world will ever have, to pray for the wings of a dove!294
39    Life, XXII   |         it twice. Let us, then, pray Him always to show His mercy
40    Life, XXIII  |         before when I ceased to pray,335—and perhaps I never
41    Life, XXIII  |   having begged many persons to pray to God for me, and I too
42    Life, XXV    |        we hear them whenever we pray. But it is not so with the
43    Life, XXV    |   delivered from it. He bade me pray much to God: he himself,
44    Life, XXV    |     find any comfort; unable to pray or read, like a person stunned
45    Life, XXVII  |    souls, you who have begun to pray, and you who possess the
46    Life, XXVIII |          that I never ceased to pray. Even when I did cease,
47    Life, XXVIII |      previously had, and cannot pray at all. In the beginning,

50    Life, XXX    |      and to our Lady, I used to pray much.~9. I suffered at times—
51    Life, XXX    |         I find myself unable to pray or to fix my thoughts with
52    Life, XXX    |     then as I do now. I used to pray much to our Lord for that
53    Life, XXXI   |       promised him that I would pray to God for his amendment,
54    Life, XXXI   |      sufferings. He asked me to pray to God for him. I recommended
55    Life, XXXI   |         because I asked them to pray, and because our Lord permitted
56    Life, XXXIV  |       religious. He asked me to pray much for him to God. There

61    Life, XXXVIII|       me, and let me be lost. I pray you, my father, to beg this
62    Life, XXXVIII|    lonely spot, where I used to pray very often, and began to

67    Life, XXXIX  |   intends to grant. These I can pray for constantly, and with

69    Life, XXXIX  |         fail to force myself to pray, though not conscious of
70    Life, XXXIX  |       long ago since I began to pray, and He to bestow His graces
71    Life, XXXIX  |         fell before he began to pray, but he must also, as they

74    Life, XL     |         is what I most heartily pray to God for. I say to Him
75    Life, XL     |      father; do you, my father, pray to God that He would take
76    Life, XL     |         to your keeping. I will pray for the soul of your reverence
