Blog Post 5/20/2023 – On Prayer

 

On Prayer

 

“Prayer brings our mind into the brightness of divine light and exposes our will to the warmth of divine love. Nothing else can so purge our mind from its ignorance, and our will from its depraved affections.

It is a blessed fountain which, as it flows, revives our good desires and causes them to bring forth fruit, washes away the stains of infirmity from our soul, and calms the passions of our hearts.”  [St. Francis de Sales, An Introduction to the Devout Life, p. 61]

 

 

Prayer time can be anytime of the day or night, but whenever it is we need to be attentive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.  Ideally prayer time is 24/7.

 

May God Be Praised.
