No comments on God Produces Contemplative Prayer without Material Dependence on Our Conditions

René Voillaume

As far as that state of contemplative prayer produced by God [in us], it hardly depends on exterior conditions and leaves rather unoccupied the field of our own imagination and of our consciousness: from which can come a certain impression of a “void”, of interior dryness, all of which demand generosity to be supported for a long time.
René Voillaume LBJ (1905–2003)
