This guide, dear Reader, offers you its counsels to teach you how to meditate well. It places itself at your disposal, as a faithful and devoted friend, in order at first to initiate you into mental prayer, and to accustom you afterwards to its habitual practice. In its capacity as a Guide, it is going, as it were, to take you by the hand, in order to conduct you more surely to this so desirable end.
