Prayer must be said without hypocrisy
Spirituality
St. Peter Canisius, Summa Doctrinae Christianae, 16th century, Three Kinds of Good Works: âThere 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.â
Doctrine
Pope St. Celestine I (431): â⌠pray that the faith may be granted to infidels; that idolaters may be delivered from the errors of their impiety; that the light of truth may be visible to the Jews, and the veil of their hearts may be removed; that heretics may come to their senses through a comprehension of the Catholic faith; that schismatics may receive the spirit of renewed charityâŚâ
