Enduring Love for God

One day St. Rita was conversing with Jesus during His apparition to her. The saint asked, "Lord, on which occasion in my life did I please you most? Was it when I was loving you in ecstasy? …" Christ then answered her, "No, my dear. You pleased me most on one occasion when you were struggling to complete your daily prayer out of love for me, despite your great desolations"

*The above short story was told by a holy priest during a special sermon. Its essence is to encourage us to pray at all times.
