With
regard to prayer, when you find yourself in desolation and interior
stripping and it seems you have no faith, love the Will of God in this
darkness and stay on the cross of Jesus without comfort, continuing your
silence and loving repose in pure and holy faith. And, although the
lower part remains in a storm, with the highest part of your spirit
remain in a pure and simple loving attention to the Supreme Good. It is
well from time to time to revive your spirit with a loving word, made
and spoken gently. You need not hold your meditation book in your hand,
but give your attention to God, as much as you can, in a lively faith,
not caring whether you feel anything or rejoice. Oh! what a holy prayer
this is and in which Jesus alone has satisfaction. |
