Chapter XIV. Of another Way of Praying

ANOTHER most perfect way of praying is, by placing one's self in the Presence of God by an effort of thought, without any words, darting towards Him now and then a sigh, turning our eyes towards Him with a heart full of desires to please Him, and with a swift and ardent desire that He would help us to love Him simply, to honour, and serve Him; or else, with the desire that He would grant us the grace which we had sought from Him in our previous prayers.
