The miracle-working Capuchin friar, Father Solanus Casey, wrote his plan for uniting in love with God and staying in His presence.
**MEANS FOR ACQUIRING THE LOVE OF GOD:
I. Detachment of oneself from earthly affections.
Singleness of purpose.
II. Meditation on the Passion of Jesus Christ.
III. Uniformity with the Divine Will.
IV. Mental Prayer – meditation and contemplation.
V. Prayer – “Ask and it shall be given to you.”
After this he noted:
TO PRESERVE GOD’S PRESENCE:
I. Raise your heart to Him by frequent aspirations.
II. Make a good intention at the beginning of each week
and frequently during its execution.**
