The source of power and all riches
Only by connecting with the Source of power, can we be effective Christians. We have to spend time in prayer. We don’t necessarily need to become Trappist monks, but we must find time alone with God. St John Vianney spent hours before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. When people asked him what he was doing, he said, ” I look at Him and He looks at me, John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, used to get up at four in the morning so he could begin his day with two hours prayer. ‘Now, I am no John Wesley, but I know if I don’t get up early, I will not have much time for prayer. You know, we expend a lot of effort trying to get ahead financially. I admit that if I thought someone was going to make a major donation to the parish, I would find time to meet with him. How much more should you and I find time to meet the Source of all riches!
