 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction,

faithful in prayer. - Romans 12:12

Both are good when both are possible.

Otherwise, prayer is better than reading."

"Confession heals, confession justifies, confession grants pardon of sin. All hope consists in confession. In confession there is a chance for mercy. Believe it firmly. Do not doubt, do not hesitate, never despair of the mercy of God.  Hope and have confidence in confession." - St. Isidore of Seville

St Isidore of Seville, pray for us!
