Meditation, Prayer, and the Impetus for Theological Reflection

"A necessary foundation to prayer is meditating and thinking on the great truths which God has revealed. We should be familiar with the mysteries of Jesus Christ and the truths of his gospel. Our souls should be colored by them and penetrated by them as wool is by dye. These truths should become so familiar to us that we acquire the habit of forming no judgment except in their light, that they may be our only guide in what we do, as the rays of the sun are our only light in what we see."

Francois Fenelon in Talking with God
