Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things just, whatsoever things pure, whatsoever things lovely, whatsoever things of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.<\/p>\n
The Bible, Philippians 4:8 kjv<\/i><\/p>\n
If by meditation, thou does not find an increase in all thy graces, and do not grow beyond the stature of common Christians, and art not made more serviceable in thy place, and more precious in the eyes of all discerning persons; if thy soul enjoy not more communion with God, and thy life be not fuller of comfort, and hast it not readier by thee at a dying hour; then cast away these directions, and exclaim against me forever as a deceiver.<\/p>\n
Richard Baxter<\/i><\/p>\n
Wilt thou love God, as he thee! then digest,<\/p>\n
My soul, this wholesome meditation,<\/p>\n
How God the Spirit by angels waited on<\/p>\n
In heaven, doth make his Temple in thy heart.<\/p>\n
John Donne<\/i><\/p>\n
When you meditate, imagine that Jesus Christ in person is about to talk to you about the most important thing in the world. Give him your complete attention.<\/p>\n
F. F\u00e9nelon<\/i><\/p>\n
It is preferable to be very humble and ashamed of the faults one has committed than to be satisfied with one\u2019s meditation and puffed up with the idea that one is very advanced in spiritual matters.<\/p>\n
F. F\u00e9nelon<\/i><\/p>\n
Spend an hour every day, some time before the midday meal, in meditation; and the earlier the better, because your mind will then be less distracted, and fresh after a night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n
Francis of Sales<\/i><\/p>\n
If meditation is to be fruitful, it must be followed by devoted prayer, and the sweetness of contemplation may be called the effect of prayer.<\/p>\n
Guigo II the Carthusian<\/i><\/p>\n
Meditation is no panacea.<\/p>\n
Martin Israel<\/i><\/p>\n
My spirit has become dry because it forgets to feed on you.<\/p>\n
John of the Cross<\/i><\/p>\n
Those who draw water from the wellspring of meditation know that God dwells close to their hearts.<\/p>\n
Toyohiko Kagawa<\/i><\/p>\n
We should not take a simple look at the cross, but rather meditate and be satisfied with it.<\/p>\n
Pishoy Kamel<\/i><\/p>\n
All the troubles of life come upon us because we refuse to sit quietly for a while each day in our rooms.<\/p>\n
Blaise Pascal<\/i><\/p>\n
In the rush and noise of life, as you have intervals, step home within yourselves and be still. Wait upon God, and feel his good presence; this will carry you evenly through your day\u2019s business.<\/p>\n
William Penn<\/i><\/p>\n
Work of sight is done.<\/p>\n
Now do heart work<\/p>\n
On the pictures within you.<\/p>\n
Rainer Maria Rilke<\/i><\/p>\n
It is not the busy skimming over religious books or the careless hastening through religious duties which makes for a strong Christian faith. Rather, it is unhurried meditation on the gospel truths and the exposing of our minds to these truths that yield the fruit of a sanctified character.<\/p>\n
Maurice Roberts<\/i><\/p>\n
Let us leave the surface and, without leaving the world, plunge into God.<\/p>\n
Teilhard de Chardin<\/i><\/p>\n
To think well is to serve God in the interior court: To have a mind composed of divine thoughts, and set frame, to be like Him within.<\/p>\n
