PRACTICE OF MENTAL PRAYER

God in that manner to which grace prompts it, and for this reason several different methods have been mentioned here. With- out doubt, that is a fortunate soul which God fills to the very depths with the exquisite sweetness of His presence—an unusual spir- itual consolation. Such a favor is not always granted, however, and then it is better to seek God elsewhere.

And lastly, the fourth method of placing oneself in the presence of God is to regard Him as present in the sacred Humanity of Jesus Christ, Our Lord. This method naturally suggests itself when the meditation is on the life and death of Our Lord, but especially when in presence of the most Blessed Sacrament.
