“Those who pray do not waste their time,
although a situation may seem to call only for action,
nor do they seek to change and correct God’s plan.
Rather they aim – following the example of Mary and the saints
– to draw from God the light and the strength of love
that defeats all the darkness and selfishness present in the world.”
-From “Deus caritas est” (God is Love), the first Encyclical of Pope Benedict XVI
