The prayer of the Church is so powerful that, even if we are stone-faced, it could make our tongue lighter than the feather.
Just like the west wind propels the sailing ships and makes it run faster than the arrow, so does the prayer of the Church. When the prayer touches the tongue of one who wholeheartedly prays to the Lord, it will make one’s word more powerful than the wind.
Saint Ioannis Chrysostomos
