Let your mind, then, dwell on such reflections: “Behold the Bridegroom cometh” (Mt 25:6)… Endeavour constantly to have a fitting sense of our Lord’s presence, even should you contemplate no other part of this Mystery.

      John of Avila really is wonderful. So simple, practical, and profound.

        Yes. I just finished a course during which we read a lot of him. It was a great intro.
