‘If the word “thank you” were the only prayer you ever uttered, it would be enough’ (Master Eckhart).
We might be tempted to think that such statements make salvation too easy for human beings. But let us also remember the words of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio, in which He says that anyone who sincerely calls upon Him once with the name ‘Father’ will not be condemned. This gives us great hope for the salvation of souls, grounded in God’s saving will.
