"To receive the grace of God into our own hearts,
they must be void of our own glory." - Fr
William Doyle
"As regards
prayer, you should try to follow the attraction
of the Holy Spirit, for all souls are not led by the same path.
It would not be well to spend all the time in vocal prayer,
there should be some meditation,
thought or contemplation.
Try 'basking in
the sun of God’s love,' that is, quietly kneeling
before the Tabernacle, as you would sit enjoying the warm sunshine,
before the Tabernacle, as you would sit enjoying the warm sunshine,
not trying to do anything, except
love Him;
but realizing that, during all the
time you are at His feet,
more especially when dry and cold,
grace is dropping down
upon your soul and you are growing fast in holiness."
Fr William Doyle (+1917)
