“I asked you a favour, and you refused it me: I asked it of Almighty God, and he has granted it me.” 

St Francis de Sales (1557-1622), Confessor, Doctor of the Church; Haute Savoie, France; Feast January 29th

"Let us persevere in prayer at all times.  For if our Lord seems not to hear us, it is not because He wants to refuse us.  Rather, His purpose is to compel us to cry out louder and to make us more conscious of the greatness of His mercy."
