Real, Not Imagined, Intimacy With Christ
"Christ: My child, many would like to live a more prayerful daily life. They desire the peace which comes from a closer union with me. Still, they will not do what it takes to reach this heavenly peace. Let me tell you how to achieve this:
Limit your activities to a few useful projects, and abandon all useless interests. To do this, you will have to control some of your present desires. When you have limited your interests, you will have more time to turn your attention to Me... This deliberate separation from all useless interests is necessary for you if you are to come closer to Me. Such interests are like chains around your mind. They tie down your attention and prevent you from turning easily to Me throughout the day. To few know how to give me their full attention for any length of time. Too many people are continually absorbed in unnecessary distractions."
Fr Anthony J. Paone SJ, in "My Daily Bread", Brooklyn, NY, Confraternity of the precious Blood, 1954, pp243-244
