“ It is necessary, therefore, to obey
the Eternal Father by following Our Lord
in order to hear His Word.
And behold, how we are taught that all
persons, whatever their condition may be,
must pray and meditate,
for it is there, principally,
where this Divine Master speaks to us.
… But, it will not do us any good to listen,
if we do not DO what He says to us,
observing His commandments
and His wishes faithfully,”

“ Sometimes God delays His answer
in order to test our faith and perseverance.
It is important that we should pray
with a right intention,
with faith and perseverance
and, with resignation to God’s Will.
We must realise clearly,
God will grant us whatever is best for us,
at the most suitable moment!
Amen.
