The Holy Family
I recall a person who arrived at a very high degree of prayer by means of this very simple procedure.
She said to herself: "If I should see our Lord, how would I react? What would I say to Him? How would I comport myself with Him?"
Then she would vivify her faith and say: "I do not see Him with my eyes, but faith assures me that He is present in the tabernacle. Now, if He is here before me, I wish to enact what I should feel and say, and do, as I would feel and say and do it if I were seeing Him with my bodily eyes."
Thus she intensified her faith and facilitated her intercourse with God.
