• O Holy Spirit of God, abide with us; inspire all our thoughts; pervade our imaginations; suggest all our decisions; order all our doings. Be with us in our silence and in our speech, in our haste and in our leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and in the weariness of the evening; and give us grace at all times humbly to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship.

• Dear Father, take this days life into Thine own keeping. Control all my thoughts and feelings. Direct all my energies. Instruct my mind. Sustain my will. Take my hands and make them skilful to serve Thee. Take my feet and make them swift to do Thy bidding. Take my eyes and keep them fixed upon Thine everlasting beauty. Take my mouth and make it eloquent in testimony to Thy love. Make this day a day of obedience, a day of spiritual joy and peace. Make this days work a little part of the work of the Kingdom of my Lord Christ, in whose name these my prayers are said. Amen.

• Según la enseñanza de nuestro Señor, lo que está mal en el mundo es precisamente que no cree en Dios. Sin embargo, está claro que la incredulidad que tan amargamente deploraba no era una persuasión intelectual de la inexistencia de Dios. Aquellos a quienes reprendía por su falta de fe no eran hombres que negaban a Dios con la cabeza, sino hombres que, aunque aparentemente incapaces de dudar de Él con la cabeza, vivían como si no existiera.
