From the prayer journal of Fr. Jack Tolley

What is my Prayer Journal?  First of all, it's simply a lined notebook. In it I record any prayer requests you give me. I also keep quotations from various persons, and scripture passages I find meaningful.
Here is another contribution I like.
Blessings and love, Jack

"Pray always from your gut, from your heart.
These prayers are always heard by God. 
Judgmental, moral case type prayers are never received by God.
Pray with your heart and never with the flesh."

"St. Ignatius gave us two criteria for love.
First, Love shows more in acting than in speaking.
Second, Love lies more in giving than receiving."

(Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch and Martyr, died Oct.17, c 115)
