Extracts from the Dux Spiritualis by the Venerable Louis
de Ponte SJ
Chapter 2 Section 6 – Of the necessity of prayer
From all that has been said it may be inferred how
necessary prayer is to preserve the life of the soul and deliver us from the
evils and enemies that would destroy it.
St Thomas [S. Th. II-II, Q. lxxxiii, art 3, ad 2] teaches
that it is a precept as much natural as divine, and that if we do not pray when
we feel ourselves in danger of falling into sin, we incur fresh guilt: that is,
when we see ourselves about to fall unless God hold out his sustaining hand.
