Summary of Friday’s Meditation

Summary of Tomorrow’s Meditation

We will continue to meditate tomorrow upon the desire to lead a perfect life, and we shall see: First, that this desire is a sign of predestination; second, that it increases in the soul in proportion as we advance in virtue. We will then make the resolution: First, ceaselessly to aspire towards a higher degree of perfection; second, often to recall to ourselves how the saints loved and served God, and to be ashamed that we are so far from them, and to excite ourselves to love and serve God as they did. Our spiritual nosegay shall be the words of the Psalmist: “The just in his heart hath disposed to ascend.” (Ps. 83:6)
