“I think we pay too little attention to the value of meditation, a principle of devotion. … Meditation is the language of the soul. It is defined as ‘a form of private devotion or spiritual exercise, consisting in deep, continued reflection on some religious theme.’ Meditation is a form of prayer. … Meditation is one of the most secret, most sacred doors through which we pass into the presence of the Lord” (McKay, “Consciousness of God,” 80).
