The teachings of the Church should be followed by all Catholics; yet in the matter of personal devotions we can adopt a form of prayer or meditation that especially appeals to us, without having to adopt them all.

It seems to some people that the pathways they personally carve in the rocky walls of their lives can lead to God.

Christ gazed upon me with immense love and tenderness, as I expressed my contrition and love.
