Intense Prayer

“Intensity, and not duration, is more important in prayer. Pray even for five minutes, but your prayer ought to be offered to the Lord lovingly and with longing. This five-minute prayer may be more valuable than prayer which lasts all night. This is certainly a mystery, but it happens.”
St. Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia
