2/29 Interior meditation – prayer! – must serve as nourishment in order to maintain the conversation between God and the soul”

Book of Heaven
9/1/00 – Vol. 3

… While I (Luisa) was saying this and other nonsense, He (Jesus) came and told me:  “Would you be able to tell Me what it is that maintains the correspondence between the soul and God?”  And I, but always through a light that came from Him, said:  ‘Prayer’ And Jesus, approving of my answer, added:  “But what is it that draws God to intimate conversation with the soul?”  I did not know what to answer,  but immediately the light moved in my intellect, and I said:  “If vocal prayer serves to maintain the correspondence, certainly interior meditation must serve as nourishment in order to maintain the conversation between God and the soul.”
