A Thought 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]
Today when you pray may you be warmed by the Divine Love offered to you.
May God Be Praised.
