It is certain that distractions are multiplied ordinarily according to the degree of one's vivacity of mind and that there are minds so restless as to be distracted during the entire time of an office. Yet the will of such a person is no more guilty than would be the case as regards dreams coming to them in sleep. Patience in these cases, a continuous desire for God, renewed from time to time, is often of more worth and profit to the soul than an entirely peaceful, calm and pleasant power of attention.

~Saint Jane Frances de Chantal
