A precious advice

From Dom Jean-Baptiste Chautard, o.c.s.o in the Soul of the Apostolate.

Base your interior life on its absolutely necessary element: morning mental prayer. St. Theresa said that, “The person who is fully determined to make a half hour’s mental prayer every morning, cost what it may, has already traveled half his journey.” Without mental prayer, the day will almost unavoidably be a tepid one.”
