A
SHORT
METHOD
OF
PRAYER.

7
You
will
thus
show
Him
that
it
is
Himself
alone
that
you
love,
and
His
good
pleasure,
and
not
the
pleasure
that
you
find
in
loving
Him.
Therefore
it
is
said,
"
Make
not
haste
in
time
of
trouble.
Cleave
unto
Him,
and
depart
not
away,
that
thou
mayest
be
increased
at
thy
last
end"
(Ecclus.
ii.
2,
3).
Suffer
the
suspensions
and
the
delays
of
the
visible
consolations
of
God.
Be
patient
in
prayer,
even
though
you
should
do
nothing
all
your
life
but
wait
in
patience,
with
a
heart
humbled,
abandoned,
resigned,
and
content
for
the
return
of
your
Beloved.
Oh,
excellent
prayer
!
How
it
moves
the
heart
of
God,
and
obliges
Him
to
return
more
than
anything
else!
