Beg graces
Prayer focus
There is no obligation to join many prayers together, and more fervor and devotion may be derived in this way. Confine ourselves to that which is more profitable.
Prayer in strictest sense
Asking petition
Fervor in prayer
A real desire is a primary and essential to God hearing it favorably. Excite and cherish this desire.
Be malleable
Do not be afraid to stop your planned vocal prayer to go into mental prayer if incited by God.
Active recollection
Collect yourself to God and speak to Him without words. Teresa of Avila “never prayed with satisfaction until the day God taught her this way. “
Beg the grace!
Beg the grace to get much from the exercise.
Ignatian meditative vocal prayer
