Prayer is a groan.

Endeavor to have always in your hand a pious book, that with this shield you may defend yourself against bad thoughts.
–Saint Jerome (c. 340-420)

Heart of Mary…
No created mind, no created heart, no human force is capable of knowing how much love the Heart of Mary had for the Lord.

When we read, God…
When we pray we speak to God; but when we read, God speaks to us.

Be ever engaged, so that whenever the devil calls he may find you occupied.
