Thoughts from St Alphonsus for Every Day-September 1

In prayer God hears our petitions, but in reading we listen to his voice. We cannot always have at hand a spiritual Father, nor can we hear the sermons of fervent preachers, to direct us and give us light to walk well in the way of God. Good books supply the place of sermons.
