Throughout the day, you will strive to live in the Lord's presence. You will remain in it with the soul of the poor, for your living conditions, your contact with the outside world, and the fatigue from work will very often make your prayer difficult and dry. However, at the same time, the shared life with the poor and the needs of the people around you will constantly remind you of your task to intercede. You will learn to pray with those who surround you.
(little sister Magdalena of Jesus /1898–1989/, Rule of Life 179)
