prayer

It takes resolve and spiritual effort to stop all activity, even professional work, and to give up all leisure activities and even the most pressing affairs so as to give a little of your time and of your heart to God. It takes a lot of courage, faith, and love to abandon youroccupations and your own interests and to offer your time to God in an attitude of listening and adoration. This is also what Saint Anselm recommends to us:
“Come, take courage, poor man! Flee for a while your occupations,
escape for a moment from the din of your thoughts. Cast away your heavy cares now and set aside your worries. Give a short moment to God, and rest a while in him. Enter into the chamber of your mind;
banish from it everything except God or what can help you to seek him. Shut the door and start to seek him. Now speak, my heart, open
