Omnis enim quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini salvus erit
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:13
Masters of the spiritual life all affirm the necessity of prayer for salvation. Fr. Michael Müller, C. Ss. R. (in Prayer, Key of Salvation) posits the following points for our consideration:
First. That man cannot be saved unless he will have done God’s will.
Secondly. That man is unable to do God’s will, unless he is assisted by Divine grace.
Thirdly. That man obtains this grace by prayer only; that, consequently, man must pray in order to be saved.
St. Alphonsus Liguori writes (in Prayer: The Great Means of Salvation and of Perfection),“… to save one’s soul without prayer is most difficult and even impossible…but by praying our salvation is made secure and very easy.”
Thus, everyone is morally obliged to pray in order to secure his salvation. With this in mind, I humbly offer the contents of this site as an aid to all who have heard the call to prayer and who, by God’s grace, have committed themselves to follow St. Paul’s exhortation to “pray without ceasing”.
May Our Lord and Our Lady guide us and help us all persevere in prayer now, during this time of an unprecedented crisis in the Church, and, most especially, at the hour of our death. Amen.
