Hieromonk Nilus (Parnas)
All our virtues are the living action of grace in us.
But we must learn to pray properly. Of course, this means not only in prayers to the Mother of God, but in all prayers. There are very many counsels about this in Patristic literature, which for some reason very slowly and poorly reach us believers. Prayer is not a matter of reading the prescribed prayer rule. We must pray so that we would be conscious of what we are asking.
