The Habit
“Acquire the habit of speaking to God as if you were alone with Him, familiarly and with confidence and love, as to the dearest and most loving of friends. Speak to Him often of your business, your plans, your troubles, your fears of everything that concerns you. Since His delights are to be with you, let yours be found in Him.” - St. Alphonsus Liguori
Year of Mercy Calendar for Today: Ask yourself, “Pray with someone today.”
