As often as you can during the day, recall your mind to the
presence of God… Consider what God is doing, what you are doing. You will always find God’s eyes fixed on you
in unchangeable love. Our hearts should
each day seek a resting place on Calvary or near our Lord, in order to retire
there to rest from wordly cares and to find strength against temptation. Remember frequently to retire into the
solitude of your heart, even while you are externally occupied in business or
society. This mental solitude need not
be hindered even though many people may be around you, for they surround your
body, not your heart, which should remain alone in the presence of God. As David said, My eyes are ever looking at
the Lord. We are rarely so taken up in
our exchanges with others as to be unable from time to time to move our hearts
into solitude with God.
Happy Feast of St. Francis de Sales!
