Thoughts for May 11 from Fr Willie Doyle

I think our Lord wants your whole day to be one continued act of love and union with Him in your heart, which has no need of words to express it. Your attitude ought to be that of the mother beside the cot of her babe, lost in love and tenderness, but saying nothing, just letting the heart speak, though the wee one cannot know it as Jesus does. There is nothing more sanctifying than this life, which few, I fear, reach to, since it means a constant effort to bring back our wandering imagination.

    Coincidentally, was just reading some other spiritual notes that said “Every time we gently turn our wandering attention back to prayer, we prove to God that we wish to love Him more than the object which distracted us. Even if the whole time of prayer were spent in this effort, it would be most profitable because we were repeatedly turning towards God and thereby strengthening the bond of union between Him and our soul.”

    Another instance that there are no coincidences!
