  3. Prayer by force by St. Ambrose of Optina

If you do not feel like praying, you have to force yourself. The Holy Fathers say that prayer with force is higher than prayer unforced. You do not want to, but force yourself. The Kingdom of Heaven is taken by force (Matt. 11:12).

St. Ambrose of Optina (+1891)
