Lest the virus of error invade your minds I must stress that the resurrection of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, is a truly historical event which we know for certain from natural history and above all by divine revelation. What such teachers of error say is that faith is not concerning reality but concerning fantasy . In order to enlighten your minds on this all-important matter I shall quote from the book Progress Through Mental Prayer by Father Edward Leen, C.S.Sp. with an imprimatur dated July 27, 1935. So it is, in a measure, in our relations with God. Now in prayer there is reciprocal action.
Prayer is a conversation.
It is as essential a part of mental prayer that God should address Himself to us, as that we should address ourselves to Him. The soul gives itself up to God and God communicates Himself to the soul. God speaks to us through the deepening of our faith, through the illumination He supplies to our intelligence, the penetration into the mysteries of our religion that He grants us, and through the impulse to good that he gives to our wills. Who being the brightness of His glory, and the figure of His substance, sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on High. We become present with God by having present in thoughts, affection and in imagination the life of Jesus.
