The potency of prayer hath subdued the strength of fire it hath bridled the rage of lions hushed anarchy to rest extinguished wars appeased the elements expelled demons burst the chains of death expanded the gates of heaven assuaged diseases repelled frauds rescued cities from destruction stayed the sun in its course and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt.
— Saint John Chrysostom

Prayer is an all-efficient panoply a treasure undiminished a mine which is never exhausted a sky unobscured by clouds a heaven unruffled by the storm. It is the root the fountain the mother of a thousand blessings.
— Saint John Chrysostom

Prayer should be the means by which I at all times receive all that I need and for this reason be my daily refuge my daily consolation my daily joy my source of rich and inexhaustible joy in life.
— Saint John Chrysostom
