A meditation on Pentecost with pictures out
By repeat during the day, the essential acts of consideration as often as possible, we awaken and develop in us the spirit of prayer. The words of St.. John is the shining star and beacon in our lives: "God is love, he who abides in love abides in God and God in him" (1 Jn 4:16). As a result, learn and realize the other word of the same Apostle: "He who is born of God sins, not because his life germ remains interred in his life" (1 Jn 3:9).

Nothing is easier than from time to time - and were it only for a few seconds - from the activities and functions break free of daily life in order to unite with God. "How good it is for me to cleave to God" (Ps 73). Every moment I could talk to him, yes I need not even have the words. A quick look into my soul, a greeting, an act of love, trust, asking for light and power, depending on the circumstances and needs is sufficient. "I remembered God, and was happy my heart" (Psalm 77). So I create me gradually an inner solitude, where I last manned constantly on the voice of my Beloved, the self I promises they trusted dialogue: "I will lead him to the solitude and there speak to his heart" (Hosea 2:16).
I strive with ever greater fidelity to listen to that voice and everything to fulfill joyfully what he wants from me. "I listen to what in me says the Lord" (Ps 85.9). If difficulties, I oppose, I take refuge with Him. In Him I find light and strength, with Him I share my joy, in a word: he takes the first place in my thoughts and actions. My whole life revolved around my only been specifically I will, from now on its full meaning and purpose only in Him.
All I am doing without a violent exertion of the mind. The frequent repetition of individual acts of virtue brings about the formation of virtuous habits. So if I want to get into the atmosphere of life constant faith, trust and love, I need to repeat such acts as often as possible. I'll be sure that God is calling me to His most intimate communion of life. "My joy is indeed to be with the children of men" (Proverbs 8:31). I spare no effort and work to acquire these life-love and community as quickly as possible and to remain permanently in it.
