Advice When Praying for an Hour, a Half-Hour or Five Minutes

 

St. Francis de Sales said, "If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently and replace it tenderly in its Master's presence. And even if you did nothing during the whole of your hour but bring your heart back and place it again in Our Lord's presence, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed."

 

When you pray focus on the Lord, and as deSales says if your mind wanders, simply bring it back to the Lord.

 

May God Be Praised.
