Do not be afraid of simplicity. If you have a cold chicken for supper, why cover it with a tasteless white sauce which makes it look like a pretentious dish on the buffet table at some fance dress ball?

Is not my supper good?

And we must not talk about prayer, we must pray in right earnest. The Lord is near. He comes softly while the virgins slumber.
