• The Perennial Tradition "The Lord . . . allowed us to communicate of those divine Mysteries, and of that holy light, to those who are able to receive them.

But secret things are entrusted to speech, not to writing, as is the case with God (Clement of Alexandria died 220 C.E)"

Explains that unceasing prayer is not impossible or difficult; to the contrary it is possible and easy.
