St. Catherine of Siena says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“The direction of every individual needs to be founded upon his surrender to God's Divine Will. Actions which are predicated upon seeking the favor of influential people are superficial and, in God's Eyes, of no account.”

“The heart that is steeped in prayer will make better free will choices – more worthy free will choices – than the heart that seeks to follow the favor of others.”

“Prayer leads the soul to the intention of pleasing God and acting according to His Divine Will.”
