'After these preparations, kneeling or sitting, according to the disposition of the body and the attraction of the soul, with eyes closed, or fixed on one spot, without letting them wander from side to side, we shall say the first word of the Pater Noster, and ponder on this word as long as we find significations, comparisons, relish, and interior consolation in the consideration of the word Father. We shall do the same on each word of the Lord's Prayer, or any other prayer on which we wish to meditate after this manner of praying.'
