Resting in Holy Solitude

Lord, I know that my life is not one of constant prayer—that is not the path you have chosen for me. But help me, whenever I can, to immerse myself in quiet solitude where I can speak with you intimately. Talk with me, listen to me and give the grace to hear you speaking to my heart. Let me grow ever richer in the blessings of holy virtues. Strengthen my faith in these times of quiet conversation that I may go back to the world rejuvenated and ready to face the challenges that might come my way.
