Prayer, both personal and liturgical, is The Duty of Every Christian

Prayer, both personal and liturgical, is the duty of every Christian. Jesus Christ, the Good News of the Father, warns us that "without him we can do nothing" (John 15:5). He Himself, in the decisive moments of his life, before doing something, used to withdraw to an isolated place to give himself to prayer and contemplation, and he asked the Apostles to do the same.

--Pope John Paul II
