It is assumed that the reader is aware of the necessity of mental prayer. A Christian who does not pray is like a man who neither thinks nor wills—a mere animal in the spiritual life. The pursuit of perfection is utterly impossible without mental prayer—which, of course, may be made quite unconsciously. In fact, it may be said that if a man does not pray he cannot save his soul. It would seem that the impression of mental prayer that many souls have received needs to be strengthened in certain “colors.” The souls for whom this book is primarily intended are those who cannot succeed with the usual methods of meditation, as well as those who once were able to meditate but now find that it has become an impossibility to do so.
