“Troubles melt away before a fervent prayer like snow before the sun.” (St. John Vianney)
When your burden is too heavy, when your mental or emotional pain is too much, when you don’t have the strength or desire to keep pushing forward…turn to Christ in prayer. Focus on his eyes and on his heart. Let his gaze and his loving presence melt down your resistance and rebellion, and allow his grace to calm your aching heart. Fervent prayer works!
