"There are times
when physical lassitude, cold or heat, an importunate thought, a trial with its
sting still fresh, baffles every effort to fix the mind on the subject of
prayer and concentrates the whole attention on what, for the moment, is
all-absorbing.
Times harder still to manage, when mind and heart are so absolutely vacant and callous that there is no rousing them to action.
This reflection
will sometimes be helpful, then: What should I have to say were I in the
presence of the one I loved best in the world; with whom I am quite at my ease;
my friend par excellence; to whom my
trials, difficulties, character, the secrets of my soul are known; that one in
whose concerns and welfare I take the deepest interest; whose plans and views
are mine, discussed again and again together; in whose company time flies and
the hour of parting comes too soon — what should I
find to say?
Say it, make an
effort to say it to Him Who is in the tabernacle yonder."
(Coram Sanctissimo – Mother Mary Loyola)
