Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Resume of Meditations "He who meditates on the law of the Lord," says the Prophet, "shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters in a fertile soil, which shall bring forth its fruits in due season." (Ps. i. 1, 3.) The Holy Spirit teaches us, by these words, the necessity of meditation, and how salutary that exercise is for us. The religious who meditates on the law of the Lord, keeps himself in charity, increases in fervor, and constantly brings forth fruits of life and virtue. He, on the other hand, who does not meditate, will soon become like the field of the sluggard, which produces nothing but thorns and brambles; or to a barren tree, of which it may be said, "Why does it occupy a place uselessly in the garden of religion?" The soul has need of food to sustain its supernatural life; of light to enable it to walk in the narrow path leading to heaven; of strength to surmount the obstacles it meets; of arms to defend itself against the enemy of all good: now, it is in mental prayer it will find all these. Penetrated with the necessity of this holy exercise, and with a view to make it easy for religious to render them selves faithful to it, we publish these summaries of divers meditations for our use.
