A. The
sunrise and the sunset are the best times for prayer.
Q. Is there a difference?

Q. As it is better to have a dim light when meditating, how is it when
meditating at sunrise?
A. At that time you need not close your eyes,
the sun helps a great deal.
If one would ask me, "What wish must we make with the rising of the sun, and what wish must one make with the setting of the sun?"
| One must make with the rising of the sun a wish that | At the setting sun, I would say |
"Let me meet all the struggles in life with power, wisdom and strength. Let me be able to better the condition of my own life and of others' lives every day more and more." | "Let me draw nearer to You every day more and more." "Let this progress in my life not diminish, but grow to its fullness." "Make my end in this world be full of satisfaction, full of honor and glory, that the beauty of life may follow me to the end and that it may not leave me on the way." |
