SAT DOWN TO PRAY MY BREVIARY, THE SACRED OFFICE, THIS MORNING...
after an hour I looked up from my cell phone and rushed off to my next appointment.
Friends, are you sometimes discouraged by your scattered attempts and outright resistance to prayer? Do not be crushed! Take heart...trust not in your own self but in Christ! He sees you. He is pleased with your attempts.

Distraction is such a huge problem, isn't it? But you're right, perhaps is a call to humility: to placing our trust in Him not in our own abilities. Thanks, Fr. Knox.
