Because I Have to...



Had a very brief discussion with someone about prayer a couple of years ago; what reason should we give for praying? Yes, prayer should be motivated by caritas, but even if caritas is present in us as an infused habit, we nonetheless have to bring ourselves to prayer sometimes (especially during periods of spiritual aridity), whether it is because one recognizes that it is a duty of the virtue of religion, or because it is morally necessary as a means to God.
