The infinite value of a human soul
« on: April 01, 2026, 11:48:20 AM »
"For my part, I cannot understand why men should fear, as they do, to begin the practice of mental prayer, nor do I know what they are afraid of. The devil, however, strives all he can to make us fearful (in order to do us thereby some real evil) of thinking how much we have offended God; how much we owe Him; that there is a heaven and a hell, and what great labours and sufferings our Lord endured for our sake."

St. Teresa of Avila, Autobiography

This is how I'm alive. If I hadn't meditated I'd be dead right now. So this is a daily practice; with a life as steady as mine it can be heard to meditate important things you haven't already which is why I meditate various mysteries. You will never understand a mystery without first realizing it yourself, then hearing others say the same answer.

Blessed be God! It is useful to consider that in Heaven, we will occupy ourselves by contemplating, loving and praising God. The extent to which we do these things on earth is a certain measure of where we are headed...

Realize it. I like that. I will try to remember that when meditating. Don't just know the facts of the mystery, be there, see it, feel it, smell it, imagine it in every detail as if you were really there.

This is the method of St. Ignatius of Loyola!
