“You don’t know how to pray? Put yourself in the presence of God, and as soon as you have said, ‘Lord, I don’t even know how to pray!’ you can be sure you have already begun.”

                                -St. Josemaria Escriva

For Reflection:

How do these words of St. Josemaria give me consolation in those times of the “dreaded three D’s:” dryness, distraction, or discouragement? Am I in one of these times now? In what practical way can I put myself in the presence of God and admit my condition?

(Tomorrow’s Grace Line will give you more insight about what to do in these times.)

Introduction, Page vii

The letters of Padre Pio speak about God directly to the hearts of readers. They involve correspondence addressed to men and women whom Padre Pio met and listened to for several decades in his confessional–people just like us, needy and never fully satisfied with catching only a glimpse of the wonderful face of Jesus, who has promised to be with us every day until the end of the world (see Matthew 28:20)
