Thoughts from St Alphonsus for Every Day-April 20

IN order that we may pray to him with con­fidence Our Saviour has taught us in the Our Father that we should call him, not Lord, but Father, because he wills that we should ask God for grace with the same confidence with which a son, when sick, asks for food or medicine from his own father.
