The Lord our King will hold the door of His heart open for anyone who wants to enter for an audience at any time. –Saint Padre Pio Is Jesus welcome in your heart?
“To pass from sadness to joy requires a birth, a moment of travail and labor, for no one ever mounts to a higher level of life without death to the lower.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
“Distractions are one of the more common difficulties in prayer. They are absolutely normal and should neither surprise nor sadden us. When we realize that we have become distracted from our prayer and our thoughts are wandering, rather than getting discouraged or angry, we should simply, peacefully and gently bring our minds back to God.”–Fr. Jacques Philippe
