Oct 6 ?? The Degrees of Prayer |
|
Ave Maria! “The most important degrees of prayer are: vocal prayer, meditation and contemplation. In this last degree God sometimes draws the soul very close to Himself, in such a case, the soul, dazzled by an unworldly light and inflamed with love, enters into ecstasy, which has nothing in common with natural euphoria. This, however, is neither indispensable nor necessary to holiness.” (SK #1001) |
