Spend Time With Him!

(St. Vincent Ferrer Parish, NYC)

 

It is pleasant to spend time with Him, to lie close to His breast like the Beloved disciple (cf. Jn 13:25) and to feel the infinite love present in His heart.  If in our time Christians must be distinguished above all by the "art of prayer”, how can we not feel a renewed need to spend time in spiritual converse, in silent adoration, in heartfelt love before Christ present in the Most Holy Sacrament?  How often, dear brothers and sisters, have I experienced this, and drawn from it strength, consolation and support. 

St. John Paul II (Pope)
