To pray is to think of God lovingly,to take to Him and to listen to Him.Prayer throws open a line of communication to heaven.
Mental prayer gives more importance to the activity of the mind and heart.It can take the form of meditation.The one who meditates ponders upon some
religious truth to deepen his understanding of it,and considers its various aspects as a jeweller examines the facets of a diamond.
The memory,mind, affections,will all the spiritual powers of man make meditation a perfect mode of human activity.This type of prayer is highly
beneficial and when practised daily for 15 minutes or half an hour, will cause steady progress in your spiritual life.
The regular practice of meditation leads the soul of contemplation,another type of mental prayer in which the mind and will dwell upon God’s nature and
perfections.but those already advanced in the way of prayer will derive great profit from contemplation.
Contemplation consists in adoration and admiration.One can start from the consideration of God’s power and greatness as manifested in the things He created.
A loving admiration of the divine is the highest summit of prayer;but no practice contemplation habitually requires that one should be completely centred upon God.
Short moments of contemplation are possible to all who possess a fine aesthetic and religious sense.
