This week we celebrated the feast of St. Francis de Sales. Here is one of my favorite quotes from him:
"Always remember to retire at various times
into the solitude of your own heart even while outwardly engaged in discussions
of transactions with others. This mental solitude cannot be violated by the
many people who surround you since they are not standing around your heart but
only around your body. Your heart remains alone in the presence of God...
Indeed our tasks are seldom so important as to keep us from withdrawing our
hearts from them from time to time in order to retire into this divine solitude."
