[QUOTE="AnonymousBosch, post: 1251216, member: 5255"] ^ Rob: I forgot to say... If you're praying the Rosary, and you receive Spiritual Consolation, stay in it. This will be felt as [i]a sensible knowledge of God's love[/i]: you might be overwhelmed with joy, your eyes might leak gentle tears, your heart might swell, you might be shown clear imaginative visions. You have found what you were seeking in prayer: God is now directly talking to you and wants you to drink from the torrent of His love, undistracted. You may abandon the prayer and return to it after He lets go again. Sometimes Prayer will be dry and you mightn't receive Consolation for days. Don't give up prayer, and don't assume he's 'given up' on you: God wants you to seek Him in the absence of Consolation, by Faith. These dry prayers have far greater spiritual merit. A cloud is currently covering the sun - the sun hasn't gone anywhere - you wait patiently, trust in the sun's return. Eventually, these Consolations become rare. This simply means you're passing into the next stage of the interior life, and what replaces it is far superior to these high emotions. [/QUOTE]
