from Awakening Your Soul to the Presence of God
Fr. Kilian J. Healy O. Carm.The vocation to be an intimate friend of God is not beyond our reach. It is obligatory, to a degree, and God would not hold something out to us, beckon us to receive it, and then gradually withdraw it.
How are we to acquire it? Is there a short, practical way within our power by which we can come to a deep, tender love of God?
To this last question, the answer must be yes, or Fr. Kilian would have no book to write.
