"Spiritual success is gained by daily cultivation.
If you practiced for the day, then you have won.
If you were lazy for the day, then you have lost."
I have never been what anybody (except possibly my husband) would call a good Catholic. Yes, I never miss a Sunday; yes, I take my prayer book with me everywhere I go. I pray the rosary sometimes; I attend adoration sometimes. I explore devotions I am drawn to, but I am not strict in my practice. Perhaps this is the source of every failure in my life, and yet, perhaps it is important to be flexible with one's practice. To everything there is a season, and there is always a chance to practice again, every moment.
