The only part of our religion that is real is the part we express in
our daily lives. Ideals that we do not act out in practice are mere
abstract theories. Actually, such pretended ideals are in serious
detriment, because they drug the soul.
If you want to receive any benefit from your religion you must
practice it; and the place to practice it is right here, where you are;
and the time to do it is now.
A writer on prayer has said: "Knead love into the bread you bake;
wrap strength and courage in the parcel you tie for the woman with
the weary face; hand trust and candor with your coin you pay to the
man with the suspicious eyes." This sums up the Practice of the
Presence of God.
