“It is better to say
one Our Father fervently
and devoutly
than a thousand,
with no devotion
and full of distraction.”

Put the whole world
behind you and forget it.
Watch your thoughts
like a good fisherman
watching for fish.”
St Romuald (c 951-1027)
“Were you to ask,
‘what are the means
of overcoming temptations’,
I would answer:
The first means is prayer;
the second is prayer;
the third is prayer;
and should you ask me,
a thousand times,
I would repeat the same.”
St Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)

“Jesus is waiting
for you
in the chapel.
Go and find Him.”

is a beginning of an uprising
against the disorder of the world.”

do not be afraid
of silence or stillness.
Listen to God.
Adore Him in the Eucharist.”

when you pray, not answers.
You won’t always find answers
but you will always find Jesus.”
