Quote by Peter Julian Eymard, counseling
As for meditation, I would like you to be a disciple of prayer, because without prayer there is no habitual union with God. You need a type of prayer which is suited to your temperament, your situation, your inner inclination, consequently, your heart. Speak simply and candidly to our Lord as with another self, as with your sister. Be a child who is full of love and surrendered to her good maker. Let it be an interior conversation with God more than a work of the mind. Then, a scattered, distracted meditation will come together, because it will express all the thoughts and needs of your heart.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of prayer as a means to establish a continual connection with God. It suggests that prayer should be personalized according to an individual's temperament, circumstances, and inner inclinations, encouraging a heartfelt and sincere conversation with the divine. By approaching prayer as an intimate dialogue with God, rather than a mere intellectual exercise, distractions during meditation can be overcome, as the thoughts and needs of the heart find expression. Ultimately, the quote highlights the transformative power of prayer in fostering a deep and lasting union with God.
