In Prayer, Never Let Go

In this recent post from Sr. Edith over at Monastic Musings, she writes about St. Jeanne Francoise de Chantal, who offered this advice about praying:

""If you are told, as was the Canaanite woman, that you do not deserve the grace for which you are asking, then reply like her that you are not asking unusual favors, but are hoping only to eat the crumbs which fall from the divine table."

I wanted to share this over here because I receive so many emails from readers who are feeling discouraged by what they're going through and experience a 'dark night of the soul', where it becomes difficult to keep praying. Please click above to go read this very special post.
