Tuesday, August 11 : Saint John-Mary Vianney
The Good Lord has no need of us. If He commands us to pray, it is because He desires our happiness—and because our happiness can be found nowhere else. When He sees us approaching, He inclines His Heart low toward His little creature, like a father who bends down to listen to his small child speaking to him. In the morning, we must act like the infant in its cradle: the moment it opens its eyes, it quickly looks to see if it can spot its mother… There are two means by which to unite ourselves with our Lord and secure our salvation: prayer and the sacraments. All those who have become saints frequented the sacraments and lifted their souls to God through prayer.
