4. The words of Fr. Alberione “Total” Paryer Prayer, at every level, must always be life-oriented. That is, it must embrace our whole life; it must bring together all our activities and involve all our faculties. […] Then our prayer is truly vital, which is to say it is total, complete: it is the whole person who prays and who strives for heaven (Pr Pm 1960).

5. The Word of God I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God -what is good and acceptable and perfect. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer (Rm. 12,2. 11-12).

6. Prayer Divine Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, present and active in the Church and in the depths of my soul, I adore you, I thank you, I love you! And through the hands of Mary most holy, my Mother, I offer, give and consecrate myself entirely to you for life and for eternity. Mary, Mother of the Church and my Mother, who dwells in the presence of the Blessed Trinity, teach me to live, through the liturgy and the sacraments, in ever more intimate union with the three divine Persons, so that my whole life may be a “glory to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.” Amen.
