“Karl Rahner puts the matter utterly clearly: ‘Personal experience of God is the heart of all spirituality.’ St. Vincent knew this, so he encouraged the confreres and the Daughters of Charity again and again to pray. […] Today… a rich variety of methods might be proposed as a help in mental prayer. Let me group these schematically under four headings: PRAYER OF THE MIND, PRAYER OF THE IMAGINATION, PRAYER OF THE HEART, and LECTIO DIVINA.”
