June 28

“If we could constantly live in the realization that we are [children] of a heavenly Father, that we are always in his sight and play in his creation, then all our thoughts and every action would be a prayer. For we would be constantly turning to him, aware of him, questioning him, thanking him, asking for his help, or begging his pardon when we have fallen. And every true prayer begins precisely here: placing oneself in the presence of God.”

-Fr. Walter J. Ciszek, S.J.
