“Prayer is your key to peace. When you cannot pray, you are not at peace. It is then, you face challenges – spiritually and emotionally. So, you must understand, Satan’s job is to destroy your peace. It is he who tries to convince you that your prayers are unworthy – even unneeded. He tries every sort of exterior distraction to weaken your concentration and therefore, weaken your prayers. Do not be discouraged in your prayer effort.”

“Discouragement is one of Satan’s most common and powerful weapons. Pray first for the grace to believe in the power and the necessity of your prayers. It is then, the angels will surround you and help you to pray. The Queen Mother and Protectress of your faith* is a strong ally as a prayer partner. Invoke Her aid.”
