Religious posts of the day

Say a prayer for those hurt by the earthquake
and donate if you can...

-------------------------------
Docs and moms and earthquake rescuers and others can't sit and "pray" but for Catholics prayer is lifting one's heart and mind to God, not saying words.

So a quote from St. Francis de Sales: "Do not distress yourself about your prayers. It is not always necessary to employ words, even inwardly, it is enough to raise your heart and let it rest on our Lord...


from fountainOfEliasBlog...also for those who "hate" pious hypocrites, they should know that spiritual writers have a list of various types of false piety, although I think John of the Cross describes them a lot better.
