"We should read good and useful books and abstain from reading that that only gratify our curiosity." ~ St. Vincent de Paul
Help me, Lord, to be more discriminating in my reading and exposure to the media. I don't want my senses to be so loaded with what is useless, that I can't hear you speaking to me.

"Into whatever state of blindness or obscurity I may fail, in whatever ignorance of God's ways I may chance to be, if I seek out God in the simplicity of my heart, I will surely find him." ~ St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
Lord, I know you will not despise a contrite, sincere heart. I only want to love and praise you for your great goodness to me, today and all the days of my life.
Since all these graces have been prepared for you, and our good God, who grants them, desires nothing so much as to lavish them on those who truly want to make use of them, what is there to prevent you from being filled with them, destroying by their power all that remains of the old man in you and the darkness and ignorance of sin? (V:462)

"We should delay for several hours, and reflect well in the presence of God, before we correct by reproof, especially when the fault is great and the person is little disposed to receive correction." ~ St. Vincent de Paul
Lord, be with me when I have to reprove anyone. Keep far from me a self-righteous attitude, realizing that I, too, am a sinner.
