Fr. Ripperger: “If you find praying difficult, or you’re not getting any satisfaction out of it, don’t worry. Once a person gets really proficient at it, there’s a real delight to it. Then the person will WANT to go pray, they’ll WANT to get away from everything...”
“If anyone meditates upon My sufferings with tenderness and compassion, his heart will be to Me as a soothing balm for these wounds."
Our Lord to St Gertrude
“Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself. Do not be disheartened by your imperfections, but always rise up with fresh courage.”
~ St. Francis de Sales
