7Prayer is the one thing the devil strives hardest to prevent, for it is the most powerful weapon we have against his wiles. In this priceless little book, St Alphonsus develops the numerous reasons we have for devoting time to prayer each day. You don't pray when you have time; you make time to pray. Prayer is literally the answer to all our problems, it is consolation in sorrow and calm in prosperity. It opens for us the gate of a blessed eternity.
