“My brothers, you must realize that for us
churchmen nothing is more necessary than meditation. We must meditate before, during, and after everything we do. The prophet says: I will pray, and then I will understand.
~St. Charles Borromeo
For Reflection:
What place in my prayer life does meditation on sacred scripture or the truths of the faith hold? How has it helped to understand God, myself, and others better?
Vol 5 The author has clearly succeeded in not creating a straitjacket; rather the book, rich as it is in quotations from spiritual writers throughout the ages, is a source of open suggestions for daily meditation on every aspect of Christian life. Sales of this series, running to several hundred thousand copies in all the main languages, are a testimony to its popularity.
