"Before we can [pray] with focus, we have to become aware of a multitude of defined or undefined, conscious or subconscious desires.  We have to learn to bring them to our awareness, to analyze them, to categorize them, and to bring them in to order according to priorities.  When we do not do this, we will be condemned to remain, in our prayers, on a superficial level, or even on the level of formality, where there are no answers or there are only imagined answers."

"Seeing ourselves in our full responsibility means also seeing ourselves in our weaknesses, in our lost opportunities, and in our failures--which makes us humble and meek.  We see the necessity to enter into a covenant with the author of life, to activate the atoning blood of Christ to wash us clean, and to embrace, gratefully, the gracious gift of the Holy Ghost for our essential empowerment."
