Is MENTAL Prayer, or Meditation, is the exercise of the powers of the rational soul, of memory, under standing, and will, about God and the mysteries of the Faith, combined with a close and familiar converse with God. Hence it consists of four parts: First, the exercise of the memory, whereby the presence of God is realized and the mystery with which we are dealing is recalled point by point and offered to the intellect, together with a living and fervent faith in its truth, for lack of which our attention would soon languish, since what is coldly believed can never be understood. Mem ory, understanding, and will being interdependent, each becomes in turn predominant, but is not un aided by the others. This act of faith, therefore. must be supplied by the will.
