Reading much of the saints I came to realize that to even have a chance I had to do as they did.  They removed whatever it was that turned their minds away.  I am working on removing things, places and, yes, even people or at least limiting contact and replacing them with those that turn my mind toward God.  I pray for the grace to respond to the virtues of fortitude to do so, and endurance to continue forward, with thanksgiving that God has shown me His truth.
