Devotion:
The virtue of devotion is neither more nor less than a general inclination and promptitude of spirit to do what we know is pleasing to God. It is the joyful expansion of the heart spoken of in the Psalms: "I have run in the way of your commandments since you have set me free."
Ordinary people walk along the path of God; devout people run; very devout people fly.
Times of prayer must become so much a part of our day that we never omit them except out of great necessity.
The length of our prayer should be in proportion to the amount of work we have to do.
From St. Francis de Sales, offered by Sr. Eleanor May Klaber, V.H.M.
