Day Two hundred and sixty six: Friday 11th December 2020

More wisdom from Pope Francis:

"Prayer knows how to calm restlessness. But we are restless, we always want things before asking for them, and we want them right away. This restlessness harms us. And prayer knows how to calm restlessness, knows how to transform it into availability. When we are restless, I pray and prayer opens my heart and makes me open to God’s will… If in prayer we understand that each day given by God is a call, our hearts will then widen and we will accept everything. We will learn how to say: “What You want, Lord. Promise me only that You will be present every step of my way.” This is what’s important: to ask the Lord to be present in every step of our way: that He not leave us alone, that He not abandon us in temptation, that He not abandon us in the bad moments."
