EACH DAY COUNTS can be summarised in the story of the stome cutter. Benjamin Disraeli had a formula for persevering in spite of opposition that should prove helpful to anyone tempted to give up on a good and holy cause. Asked how he kept on without seeing results, the 19th century British statesman replied: "Have you ever watched a stone cutter at work? He will hammer away at a rock for perhaps 100 times without a crack showing in it. Then at the 101st blow, it will split into two." "It is not about the blow which accomplishes the results," he commented, " but the hundred others that went before it as well." Above all to encourage the reader to get started in the life of daily practice of prayer and reflection on our relationship with God and the search for His Divine Truth that Jesus Christ wants us to find out and know and live out as Christians. Pray, Pray and Pray. Let us reach out to God every day in prayer. Let us pray The Holy Rosary and meditate and draw closer to God. lex orandi, lex credendi ( The law of prayer is the law of belief )
