Try frequent reception of the Eucharist and daily mass. If grace moves you check out the Liturgy of the Hours. Be eager to cooperate with the Holy Spirit. See if you can find a spiritual advisor. Always be grateful to God.How might I develop my prayer life further with an aim to love?

Move toward contemplative prayer.How might I develop my prayer life further with an aim to love?
I believe St. John of the Cross who stated, " the lover takes on the characteristics of the beloved."
So, when we have a deep relationship with our Beloved, Jesus Christ, we will begin to take on His characteristic, which is love.
We begin to love as He loves.

Our Blessed Mother’s job is to bring souls to her Son. Any devotion to her will be a straight path to Christ. Devotion to the Seven Sorrows of Mary has caused me to fall in love with our Lord! Christ has given His mother all power to distribute His graces to those who seek His favors through her.How might I develop my prayer life further with an aim to love?
Here is a link to the Seven Sorrows devotion, if you are so inclined. Take note of the promises offered for anyone having this devotion. I can tell you first hand, she has made good on her promises!!

Yes. You may want to try “On Loving God” by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux before climbing the ladder of Love.Move toward contemplative prayer.

My own personal experience was simply to ask for me to feel more love, love of God and neighbour - and I remember feeling like I’d fallen in love with my faith not long after that. It literally felt like my heart was ablaze with love for Jesus. Anyway, ask and it shall be given unto you - when we ask for the right things, God is like the good parent who gives us what we need. Asking to be brought closer to Him will get you results.
