Patron Saint of Writers
"Retire at various times in the solitude of your own heart, even while outwardly engaged in discussions or transactions with others and talk to God."
"Meditation is the mother of the love of God, and contemplation is the daughter of the love of God. Contemplation is nothing other than taking delight in the goodness of Him Whom we have learned to know in meditation, and Whom we have learned to love by means of this knowledge."
And the same to you, Denise! Enjoy your family and the gifts of our Lord and Savior this season! I’ll be thinking of you.
