Extracts from the Dux Spiritualis by the Venerable Louis
de Ponte SJ
Chapter 1 – That perfect prayer is an elevation of the
mind to God in order to speak familiarly with Him.
Page 1 – Prayer, as says St Gregory of Nyssa [Liber de
orat. Dominico C 1] is an intercourse or conversation between our soul and God
concerning the business of our salvation and perfection.
Page 2 - …… the foundation stones on which our prayer chiefly
rests are:
1.
A living faith in all that God has revealed
2.
A secure hope of obtaining what He has
promised
3.
And an ardent love for this same Lord who has
revealed and promised them with a fervent desire of honouring Him and obeying
His least command.
