Too Busy for Daily Prayer?

We say that getting some prayer into our busy, busy schedule each day is an impossibility. You might think of this thought attributed to St. Francis deSales:
"Each of us should get at least 30 minutes of prayer each day except for those who are terribly, terribly busy: they should set aside an hour!"
How's that for thinking about the importance of prayer and our setting priorities in our lives? It was a sentence that made me stop when I read it this morning.
