Father Anthony uses Ezrah’s prayer from the Book of Nehemiah to show how important it is to take stock and truthfully acknowledge all the blessings of God in our life.

Romans 7:4-25

Turn to any page of St. Faustina’s Diary, and you’ll find spiritual gems, like this one: Thursday. Although I was very tired today, I nevertheless resolved to make a Holy Hour. I could not pray, nor could I remain kneeling, but I remained in prayer for a whole hour and united myself in spirit with those souls who are already worshiping God in the perfect way. [Then Jesus said to me,] Your prayer is extremely pleasing to Me (Diary, 691).
