To attain unto contemplation we stand ordinarily in need of hearing the word of God, of having spiritual discourse and conference with others, like the ancient anchorites, of reading, praying, meditating, singing canticles, conceiving good thoughts… Holy contemplation [is] the end and aim of all these exercises…
Saint Francis de Sales
