"After my ordination in 1952, I probably prayed as much as any busy young priest of those days. But in the mid-1970s, I discovered that I was giving a higher priority to good works than to prayer. I was telling others--seminarians, priests, lay people, and religious--about the importance of prayer, emphasizing that they could not really be connected with the Lord unless they prayed. But I felt somewhat hypocritical in my teaching because I was not setting aside adequate time for personal prayer. It was not that I lacked the desire to pray or that I had suddenly decided prayer w as not important. Rather, I was very busy, and I fell into the trap of thinking that my good works were more important than prayer."

SoAmazing Review: Joseph Cardinal Bernardin knew his death was imminent when he wrote this book. After being in remission for fifteen months, his pancreatic cancer returned in August of 1996. He decided to discontinue chemotherapy one month later and live the rest of his life as fully as possible. On November 14th he died. During that 90-day period, Bernardin wrote The Gift of Peace. The words he wrote are among his last. He chose them very carefully.
