HEART TO HEART

WHEN YOU ASK GOD FOR A FAVOR, YOU CONCENTRATE,

YET WHEN YOU SAY THE ROSARY, YOU DO NOT MEDITATE.

WHY IS IT, DEAR CHILDREN, THAT WHEN YOU ARE IN NEED,

NOT A SINGLE DISTRACTION YOUR WORDS CAN IMPEDE?

YOU ARE ABLE TO FOCUS ON EACH WORD THAT YOU SAY

AND AVOID ANY OBSTACLE THAT MAY BE IN YOUR WAY.

AND YET WHEN YOU PRAISE GOD IN YOUR DAILY PRAYERS,

YOUR MIND SEEMS TO WANDER ON YOUR DAILY AFFAIRS.

WHEN YOU PRAISE MY SON BUT CANNOT RECALL

THE LAST WORD THAT WAS SPOKEN, DID YOU PRAISE HIM AT ALL?

IN ORDER FOR WORDS THAT YOU SAY TO HAVE MEANING,

THEY MUST BE WORTHY OF THE ONE YOU’RE ESTEEMING.

 YOU KNOW, MY DEAR CHILDREN, TO WHOM YOU ARE SPEAKING

 WHEN YOU ASK GOD FOR A FAVOR OR HIS BLESSINGS YOU’RE SEEKING?

THEN WHY CAN YOU NOT FROM YOUR HEART DEDICATE

WORDS THAT NOT JUST FROM YOUR LIPS OSCILLATE?
