Loving God

Meninger, William A. The Loving Search for God: Contemplative Prayer and
The Cloud of Unknowing. Continuum, New York. 1998.

"...Indeed, you will often find that these kinds of prayers will actually
lead you into this simple loving of God. When this happens, do not resist it. Allow yourself
to cease saying the rosary, or praying the psalms, or meditating on the
Bible, and to enter into the peaceful loving of God beyond words, thoughts,
and imaginings. Do not think that you are wasting your time because you are
not involved in mental calculations. Do not think that you are being idle
because you are resting in loving contemplation of God. It is at these
times that you are being most faithful to what you are and what you are
called to be: a lover in union with the beloved." P. 13
