Thoughts from St Alphonsus for Every Day-October 20

IF a man went to a king to ask for some trifling coin, like a farthing, I think he would but insult his king. We honour God when, though we see how miserable we are, we ask for great graces, trusting in the good­ness of God and his fidelity to his promises of granting to the man who prays whatever grace he asks.
