Quote for the Day: The Best Remedy for Dryness

[Shin]

'The best remedy for dryness of spirit, is to picture ourselves as beggars in the presence of God and the Saints, and like a beggar, to go first to one saint, then to another, to ask a spiritual alms of them with the same earnestness as a poor fellow in the streets would ask an alms of us.'

St. Philip Neri

The poor beggar in this world can't be sure that when he begs he will receive anything and what he does receive can be often given begrudgingly.
What true friends we have in the saints. We can be sure that they will never refuse us what we need and be more than generous in their help.

Thanks and praise be to God for the saints 

[Shin]

Amen! Thanks be to God for His saints!

And we beg for the strength to make the choice to continue when the consolation does not spur us on............

Amen!
