Excerpt
Our Lord has said: "No man can come to Me except the Father Who hath sent Me, draw him," and later He tells us that whosoever seeks shall find, whosoever asks shall receive, that unto him that knocks it shall be opened, and He adds that whatever we ask the Father in His Name shall be given us. It was no doubt for this reason that, long before the birth of Our Lord, the Holy Spirit dictated these prophetic words: "Draw me--we will run!"

✨ To meditate on today
According to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, Jesus assures us that it is enough to knock, to seek and to humbly hold out our hand in order to receive; that is why she loves the prayer from the Song of Songs “Draw me, we will run,” which asks God to draw us to Himself. Today, present to God one specific, trusting request in simple words, then leave it with Him without worrying about the answer.
