Summary of Tomorrow’s Meditation
Summary of Tomorrow’s Meditation
We will meditate tomorrow upon two principal difficulties which are met within meditation: First, distractions; Second, aridities and other trials. We will then make the resolution: First, to lead a more recollected and detached life, which will be a means of drying up the source of many of our distractions; Second, never to be discouraged by the state of powerlessness in which we may find ourselves during our meditation, but to remain quietly humiliated in the presence of God, admiring His goodness which bears with us and loves us in spite of our wretchedness. Our spiritual nosegay shall be the words of David: “In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no wafer, have I come before Thee.” (Ps. 62:3)

How to Gain the Most Grace from Daily Prayer and Meditation
Meditation for the Morning
Let us adore Jesus Christ at prayer in the Garden of Olives. He is there on His knees with His face prostrate against the ground (Luke 22:41; Matt. 26:39). How completely this spectacle ought to teach us to abase ourselves before God in prayer through the sentiment of our nothingness in presence of His infinite majesty. Let us thank Our Lord for giving us this example and ask of Him grace to profit by it.

How to be Open to God’s Will and Live a Happy Life: Sunday’s Meditation
Eighth Sunday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to St. Luke, 16:1-9
“At that time Jesus spoke to His disciples this parable: There was a certain rich man who had a steward; and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods. And he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship, for now thou canst be steward no longer. And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed. I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship they may receive me into their houses. Therefore, calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord? But he said: A hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said; A hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write eighty. And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely; for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity, that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.”
