...How
often we come to church with no idea of what to do or what to ask
for. And yet, whenever we go to any human being, we know well enough
why we go. And still worse, there are some who seem to speak to the
good God like this: "I will only say a couple of things to you,
and then I will be rid of you." I often think that when we come
to adore the Lord, we would receive everything we ask for, if we
would ask with living faith and with a pure heart.”

Saint John Mary Vianney from
his catechetical instructions
