congregation for institutes of consecrated life and societies of apostolic life

We must pray literally without ceasing–without ceasing; in every occurrence and employment of our lives. You know I mean that prayer of the heart which is independent of place or situation, or which is, rather, a habit of lifting up the heart to God, as in a constant communication with Him. — Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton, Joseph I. Dirvin, Mrs. Seton: Foundress of the American Sisters of Charity (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1962), pp. 181-182
