St. Margaret Mary Alacoque comes and says: “Praise be to Jesus. I have come to help you realize the difference between praying and reading a prayer.”
“When you pray, each word resounds in your heart and fills your soul. When you read a prayer, your heart is detached from the meaning of the prayer. Sometimes this may even occur consciously due to what seems to be the press of time.”
“Do not allow Satan to trick you. One prayer said from the heart is worth a thousand times the many prayers some say amidst great distractions.”
