A Mother-Daughter Relationship

“Meditation is the mother of the love of God, and contemplation is the daughter of the love of God. Contemplation is nothing other than taking delight in the goodness of Him Whom we have learned to know in meditation, and Whom we have learned to love by means of this knowledge.”

                                                                   St. Francis de Sales

For Reflection: 

To what extent have I come to know God through meditation? How has this knowledge led me in to love of Him? In what concrete ways in my life is my love of God revealed?
