"You may be sure that
of all the moments of your life,
the time
you spend before the
divine Sacrament will be that which will
give you more
strength during life and more consolation
at the hour of your
death and during eternity."- St.
Alphonsus
"Making my meditation before the
picture of the Blessed
John Vianney, he seemed to say
to me with an interior voice:
'The
secret of my life was that I lived for the moment.
I did not say, I must pray here
for the next hour, but only
for this moment. I did not say,
I have a hundred confessions
to hear, I but looked upon this
one as the first and last.
I did not say, I must deny
myself everything and always,
but only just this once. By this
means I was able always to do
everything perfectly, quietly
and in great peace. Try and live
this
life of the present moment.
Pray as if you had nothing
else whatever to do; say
your Office slowly as if for
the last time;
do not look forward
and think you must often
repeat this act
of self-denial.
This will make all things much
easier.' ”
