WIST

I have not placed reading before praying because I regard it more important, but because, in order to pray aright, we must understand what we are praying for.

We are commanded to love God with all our minds, as well as with all our hearts, and we commit a great sin if we forbid or prevent that cultivation of the mind in others which would enable them to perform this duty.
