Meditation - practise meditating to embrace the spiritual life

05/15/2025

Having heard that meditation should be practised by all those who have chosen to embrace the spiritual life, you are doing your best to meditate. At first it was difficult, but this is normal, since meditation is difficult and requires a great deal of effort. You will not truly know how to meditate until this activity has found its way into your intellect, your heart and your will as a pleasure, as a joy without which life has neither flavour nor meaning. You should look forward with impatience to this moment when you finally immerse yourself in immensity and drink the elixir of everlasting life. Are you beginning to experience this impatience and this joy? As you meditate, do you hear a voice within you that murmurs, ‘At last, my soul is going to embrace the universe, and if only for a few moments, my spirit will come face to face with eternity’?*
