Commemoration of Brooke Foss Westcott, Bishop of Durham, Teacher, 1901 Be not afraid to pray... to pray is right. Pray if thou canst with hope but ever pray Though hope be weak, or sick with long delay. Whatever is good to wish, ask that of heaven But if for any wish thou darest not pray, Then pray to God to cast that wish away.

O my Lord and my all! How canst thou wish us to prize such a wretched existence?
Teresa of Avila
