"Communal prayer is important because Christ wills to save us not only as individuals—He does want to enter into an individual relationship with each of us—but He saves us primarily as members of a body, as members of the Church. And any communal body needs to be able to pray in ways that are regularized, that are habitual." —Fr. Innocent Smith, O.P.
