Advent Thoughts for Mental Prayer

Extract

1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. The Word of the Father uttered from all eternity. Adore him in the bosom of the Father. rejoice and exult in his infinite perfections, thank him that he is himself…. Humble ourselves and be glad that our poor, puny minds cannot comprehend him…. Love him with the love of the Father and the Holy Ghost. 'The Word is in your heart-he deigns to make his heaven within us. The generation of the Word is going on in our souls at this very moment. What a stupendous thought! Ask him to let us think of nothing else. care for nothing else, and to make our souls truly his heaven.
