We must constantly pray. Christ prayed before, during and after every significant occasion in His entire life. Contemplation and meditation are what we must beg God's grace for in order to be disposed to them. As we pray we must ask God for a knowledge of ourselves and our own sinfulness. After we acknowledge our sins we must pray for the grace to do penance for them.
Prayer and penance are essential to the life of the Christian. We really don't have any idea of the number of innocent souls who combine their innocence with lives of penance not only for the salvation of their own souls, but for ours as well!
Let us strive to renew our dedication to prayer and making atonement for our sins through penance.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
