In light of my homily last weekend regarding the necessity and importance of prayer, I would like to share with you some quotes from the Saints to help you in your time of prayer and reflection.
“There is certainly nothing more useful than prayer. Therefore, we ought to entertain great esteem and love for it, and employ every effort to make it well.”~ St. Vincent de Paul.
“Therefore, to abandon prayer seems to me the same thing as to lose the straight road; for as prayer is the gate through which all graces of God comes to us, when this is closed, I do not know how we can have any.” ~ St. Teresa
“In prayer the soul rises above life’s sadnesses.” ~ St. Pier Giorgio Frassati
“Our frenetic pace of life has made us forget that each of us must climb Golgotha sooner or later. Our journey on this earth is marked from the beginning: We are all invited to take up our cross and climb Golgotha.” ~ St. Carlo Acutis
Why not take these quotes to prayer today and see if it makes a difference in your life. I guarantee it will!
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Fr. Wayne
