“Children, when you are at prayer and assailed by many distractions, please recognize Satan’s fear of your prayers. He does not come as himself visibly, but as many thoughts and outside interruptions that interfere with fervent prayer. When this happens, calmly bless yourself and return to prayer.”
“It is through prayer, Satan’s tactics are revealed and destroyed. The Evil One uses unwitting people and situations to ensnare your concentration at prayer time. When you learn to recognize him, half your battle is won. Do not allow anyone or anything to keep you away from prayer. Pay attention to what is disturbing you and dismiss the unnecessary.”
