St. Francis of Assisi - July 6

The Comfort of Prayer

"Francis always sought to keep his spirit in union with God through uninterrupted prayer, so that he would not be without the consolations of the Beloved.  In his dedication to contemplation, prayer was the comfort of his life; and as if he were already a citizen of heaven and a fellow citizen of the angels, he went in ardent search of the Beloved, from whom he was separated only by a partition of flesh."  --St. Bonaventure, Major Life, 10:1

If we can keep our thoughts turned toward God, momentum will carry us directly to Him.  Where God is comfort awaits.
