This book presents five Soliloquies of Saint Augustine
[Whenever You drew me close unto You, my soul would continue to search for You, driven by my aspiration, while You resided in my heart!] From Soliloquy 1
[My Lord… You are my Light; open my eyes to behold Your divine brightness so that I would be able to walk down my path without stumbling in the traps of the enemy!] From Soliloquy 2
[If anything, godly was found in me, You would be its Source, for the godliness inside me is Your goodness, O Righteous, and from You I have received it!] From Soliloquy 3
[I beg You to command the dead to get out of the tomb! Oh! My Lord! I am appealing to You before I perish; or at least, I appeal so I would not perish, but deserve to dwell in You!] From Soliloquy 4
[You created me when I didn't exist, and You made me exist with Your will. Even before I existed, You had the glory that fits Your greatness.] From Soliloquy 5

In this pamphlet, the approach to prayer will be presented in the hopes that you, the reader, gain an enhanced understanding of the life of prayer.
The writings of St. Basil are distinguished by his spiritual and practical approach. St. Basil never looked to prayer as a routine, but rather he looked at it as the instrument to use in working towards our goal of salvation. He was interested in presenting practical exercises of prayer that are effective. In discussing how to approach prayer in the text below, he introduces the concept of building up our prayer life through exercises and training in prayer under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Just as an athlete trains for a marathon, we as Christians must train our minds and bodies for prayer.
