"Your Face is all lovely and Your heart is all inviting,
but my thoughts alas! go wandering far from You.
but my thoughts alas! go wandering far from You.
Come, O God of my heart,
gather together my scattered mental powers
and fix them upon Yourself.” – St Gertrude
"We come to Holy Mass to hearken
to the words of the Word,
to be wounded by them, to be espoused by them in such a way that,
as the one Body of Christ, we are drawn upward
with our Divine Head to the Father in the Holy Spirit.
A listening Church will be one in which Saint Paul
goal for the Corinthians is necessarily fulfilled:
"power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment" (1 Cor 7:35)."

Saint Elisabeth of the Trinity prayed:
"O Eternal Word, Word of my God, I want to spend my life in listening to You, to become wholly teachable that I may learn all from You.
Then through all nights, all voids, all helplessness,
I want to gaze on You always and remain in Your great light."
