The First Way
Our Lord said: 'He who seeth Me seeth the Father.' Christ is God, and to think of Christ is to think of God. Learn to picture Our Lord from the scenes of the Gospel.
We think of characters in books who have influenced us for good. The recollection helps. We recall words and acts. We muse upon them. Why not do the same with the words and acts of Our Lord?
To know Our Lord properly must sooner or later make us love Him deeply. When we know and love Him like that we shall want to think of Him frequently. Let us make Our Lord real. Then we shall practise the presence of God.
