From Divine Intimacy: "However slight may be our concern for our reputation, if we wish to make progress in spiritual matters, we must put this attachment right behind us; for if questions of honour prevail, we will never make great progress or come to enjoy the real fruit of prayer: intimacy with God" (DI.117, "True Glory." 1).

Pray the St. Michael the Archangel Prayer Daily:

"St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in this day of battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the Devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."
