Saint Faustina prayed the Rosary every day. One time, she wrote:… [One time] I saw many demons. One of these tried to vex me; taking the form of a cat, he kept throwing himself onto my bed and on my feet, and he was quite heavy, as if [weighing] a ton. I kept praying the rosary all the while, and toward dawn these beings vanished, and I was able to get some sleep. (412)
Jesus said we must “pray always without becoming weary” (Lk 18:1). But how can we truly pray without ceasing? The answer lies in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass — the most perfect and continuous prayer on earth. At every moment of every day, somewhere in the world, the Mass is being offered. Humanity never ceases to pray because the Church never ceases to worship.
