Always pay attention to the Word of God, whether you hear or read it in private, or listen to it publicly proclaimed. Listen with attention and reverence; seek to profit by it, and do not let the precious words fall unheeded. Receive them into your heart as a costly balsam. Imitate the Blessed Virgin who ‘kept all the sayings’ concerning her Son ‘in her heart,’ and remember that according as we listen to and receive God’s words, so will He listen to and receive our supplications.
—St. Francis de Sales
Happy Feast of St. Francis de Sales!
