... a nun, who spent a great deal of every day praying--she admitted that most of the time, she did not feel very much of a connection with God or that there was true meaning or feeling in what she was doing. But every great once and a while, she felt an immense, real connection, and that it was worth all that seemingly meaningless and routine prayer to get to that point.
A bit like that quote about Michael Ramsey [I think it was ...] who was asked how long he prayed in the morning and replied something like, "Two minutes but it takes me half an hour to get there."
