St. Innocent of Alaska: Pray with diligence and fervor.
Pray even though at first your prayer may be weak and imperfect because of your sinfulness and estrangement from God.
Pray with diligence and fervor; train yourself to be sincere in your conversation with God. Thus, little by little, you will learn to pray and will start to feel a sweet comfort.
The Holy Spirit will have mercy on you and will come and reside in you if you show faithfulness in your efforts at prayer.
