first Summary
sum up what is said to better understand short together. As these examples have shown you can see how the different stages of our head connected to one another: one following the other, not only in time but also to the cause. First is the reading, as if the foundation;
it presents the material and leads us to meditate.
The meditation shall carefully consider what is important;
she digs, meets with the treasure and show it to us.
Prayer stands with all its might to the Lord
begged and longed treasure
the bliss of contemplation.
Contemplation is the reward finally
for the troubles of the first steps;
she intoxicated the thirsty soul
with the dew of heavenly bliss.
The reading is therefore an external exercise, meditation
an internal mental activity.
Prayer is a desire
exceeds contemplation but all feeling and knowledge.
The first stage is that of the beginner,
the second is the progressive,
the third of the zealous,
the fourth of the blessed. Blessed
