“We must pray literally without ceasing – without ceasing; in every occurrence and employment of our lives. You know I mean that prayer of the heart which is independent of place or situation, or which is, rather, a habit of lifting up the heart to God, as in a constant communication with Him.”

For Reflection:

According to St. Elizabeth Seton’s definition for praying without ceasing, do I pray always? What practical strategy can I employ to help me do so? (See tomorrow’s Grace Line for a hint on what is necessary to make this happen.)

Page 18    Our contemporaries are weary of weavers of words, of projects and promises, and of programs.  They are looking for prophets and saints.  Even when they do not articulate it in this way, they are thirsting.  They are asking who will speak to them of God from a heart overflowing with the light and love of the Holy Spirit.
