“Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God’s heart. You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips, but from your heart. In fact on certain occasions you should only speak to Him with your heart.”
Quote from St. Padre Pio.
What better place to spend quiet time with our Lord than in our Adoration Chapel.
