We suggest the following texts in order to delve into the reality of prayer.

• Card. Newman, The invisible world.
• Tanquerey, How we can transform our actions into prayers.
• St. Francis de Sales, About prayer and meditation.

Cardinal Newman's sermon on the invisible world raises our awareness of the invisible realities: God's presence, the power of the sacraments, of prayer, of divine grace... Only a faith-filled view can discover the true significance of all these. Tanquerey's text is a brief explanation of the different means of prayer that we can utilize to be united to Christ throughout the day. St. Francis de Sales gives very helpful guidelines for the morning meditation.
