+ We are foreigners (in this world) and we have no other consolation except prayer.

+ One time Dr. Mary, the physician of the hospital, pressed
him for spiritual advice and so he said to her, “Pray, ‘O my Lord Jesus Christ,
remove from me self-love (pride)’”
+After asking him to clarify what he had just

repeat that phrase (O my Lord Jesus Christ remove from me self-love) and God
Himself will reveal to you deep and new mysteries.” He advised her to ask for
wisdom from God and that He would bestow it. “Be like the good soil where God
sowed His holy seeds and has borne blessed fruits.”
