Extracts from the Dux Spiritualis by the Venerable Louis de Ponte SJ
Page 180 – Let us now come to that mode of speaking and
treating with God to which, more than to any other, is given the name of
PRAYER, in which we put up petitions for all we desire and all we need.
Page 181 – God desires us to lay before Him all these
miseries, not because He who knows all things is ignorant of them, but for our
own humiliation and to confess that of ourselves we can do nothing to remedy
them, for this humility and diffidence in ourselves impels us to pray with
great affection and earnestness.
He often makes as though He did not hear us until we have
learnt by experience our utter incapacity to repair our defects and needs, and
to pour them out before Him.
