Christ rejoices when we compel Him to remain with us (Lc. 24:29). Since the light of virtue has set from us, let us persuade Him, like Cleopas, to remain with us, and, lodging together with our smallness and humility, to break the divine bread and give it for the communion of our soul. For there is nothing more constraining than prayer, which often compels even time itself to change. And since prayer is all‑powerful and invincible, the devil takes care to hinder us through very unpleasant and burdensome temptations, so that, being of no benefit to us in any way, we may neglect this weapon so useful and saving the prayer that is in Christ.
