Prayer, together with almsgiving can furnish us with countless good things from above. They can quench the fire of sin in our souls and can give us great freedom. Cornelius had recourse to these two virtues and sent his prayers up to heaven. Because of these two virtues he heard the angel say: “Thy prayers and they alms have gone up and been remembered in the sight of God.” (Acts 10:4)
A man needs much more than a full beard to become a prophet.
