Sitting with God

If in our communion we do nothing else than sit down beside Our Lord, feeling that He knows us and loves us, even though we do not say a word and are as dry as a stick, our communions are profitable, and we shall draw from them a real good.

It is as if, when dispirited, dry, and tired, we were to sit down by someone who loves and understands us, without saying a word, and were to rise up refreshed and strengthened by the intercommunion between the two souls.

-- Father Dignam, SJ
