If we are able to enter the church day and night and implore God to hear our prayers, how careful we should be to hear and grant the petitions of our neighbor in need.

Saint Quote : Saint Vincent Pallotti
Eternal Father, it is your will that all should be saved. Great is your mercy. Your Son, Jesus Christ died for all. Teach all people to recognize you and love you. With deep faith in Christ's death and resurrection we pray: Send Forth, O Lord, laborers into your vineyard and spare your people. Eternal Word, Redeemer of all creation, convert all souls to you. You have been obedient for all, even to death on the cross. Look upon the merits of your Mother and of all the angels and saints who intercede for us. Send forth, O Lord, laborers into your vineyard and spare you people. O Holy Spirit, through the infinite merits of our Lord, Jesus Christ, enkindle in all hearts your ardent love that can do all things, that all may be one fold and one shepherd, and that all may arrive in heaven to sing your divine mercy. Queen of Apostles and all the angels and saints, pray to the Lord of the harvest: Send forth, O Lord, laborers into your vineyard and spare your people, that united with you, and the Father and the Holy Spirit, we may all rejoice forever. Amen.

Saint Quote : Saint Peter Julian Eymard
He loves, He hopes, He waits. If He came down on our altars on certain days only, some sinner, on being moved to repentance, might have to look for Him, and not finding Him, might have to wait. Our Lord prefers to wait Himself for the sinner for years rather than keep him waiting one instant.
--Saint Peter Julian Eymard
