Prayer Is A Good Work
Spirituality
St. Peter Canisius, Summa Doctrinae Christianae, 16th century, Three Kinds of Good Works: “There is no work more commended in Holy Scripture, none… more necessarily is to be exercised in this life than prayer. The prayer of him that humbles himself shall pierce the clouds [Sirach 35:21]. Also, it behooves us always to pray [Luke 18:1], namely, with a zealous disposition of heart, and without hypocrisy or respect for the praise of men, that is to say, in spirit and truth.”
Doctrine
Pope Pius IX (1846): “Also perverse is that shocking theory that it makes no difference to which religion one belongs, a theory greatly at variance even with reason. By means of this theory, those crafty men remove all distinction between virtue and vice, truth and error, honorable and vile action. They pretend that men can gain eternal salvation by the practice of any religion, as if there could ever be any sharing between justice and iniquity, any collaboration between light and darkness, or any agreement between Christ and Belial.” (Qui Pluribus #15, Nov. 9, 1846)
