Part 4: Prayer in General: Chapter 26 Methods to Recollect the Mind
Notes : https://prayingwithteresaofavila.com/way-of-perfection/
Chapter 26 Explains a method for recollecting one’s mind. Sets down some ways of doing this. The chapter is very useful for beginners in prayer.
Let’s return to vocal prayer that it may be recited in a way that God grant everything together …
-We begin with the examination of conscience, an act of contrition. The sign of the cross must come first.
-Since you are alone, strive to find a companion. What better companion than the Master Himself who taught you this prayer? ---Represent the Lord Himself as close to you and behold how lovingly and humbly He is teaching you.
-Believe me you should remain with so good a friend as long as you can.
-If you grow accustomed to having Him present at your side, and He sees that you do so with love and that you go about striving to please Him, you will not be able –as they say- to get away from Him;
-He will never fail you;
-He will help you in all your trials; you will find Him everywhere.
-Do you think it’s some small matter to have a friend like this at your side?
