“O God, make speed to save me; O Lord, make haste to help me. O God, be attentive unto helping me; O Lord, make haste to rescue me.”
—John Cassian (c. 360–435), Conferences, 9.18, in Nicene and Post‑Nicene Fathers, Second Series, vol. 11, p. 429.
Reflection: Where do I most need God’s quick help to restrain my speech and steady my heart?
