To be with God wondering, that is adoration. To be with God gratefully, that is thanksgiving. To be with God ashamed, that is contrition. To be with God with people and things we care about in our hearts, that is intercession. But the center of it in desire and in design will be the being with God. Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction. Pascal
