A Comforting Assurance

The smallest distraction does not withdraw your soul from God, as you say, for nothing withdraws us from God but sin; and our resolution each morning to keep our soul united to God, and attentive to His Presence, keeps us always there, even when we are sleeping, since we sleep in the name of God, and according to His most Holy Will.

-Cardinal Wiseman.
