Every Christian Needs A Half-hour Of Prayer

It Matters Little How One Begins, Provided That He Be Resolved To Go On Well, And To End Well.

When You Have Received Him, Stir Up Your Heart To Do Him Homage; Speak To Him About Your Spiritual Life, Gazing Upon Him In Your Soul Where He Is Present For Your Happiness; Welcome Him As Warmly As Possible, And Behave Outwardly In Such A Way That Your Actions May Give Proof To All Of His Presence.

Do Not Be Ashamed Of Being Poor, Or Of Asking Alms. Receive What Is Given You With Humility, And Accept A Refusal Meekly. Frequently Call To Mind Our Lady's Journey Into Egypt With Her Holy Child, And Of All The Poverty, Contempt And Suffering They Endured. If You Follow Their Example You Will Indeed Be Rich Amid Your Poverty.

We Can Never Attain To Perfection While We Have An Affection For Any Imperfection.

All Of Us Can Attain To Christian Virtue And Holiness, No Matter In What Condition Of Life We Live And No Matter What Our Life Work May Be.
