Excerpt from Resume of Meditations He who meditates on the law of the Lord, says the Prophet, 'shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters in a fertile soil, which shall bring forth its fruits in due season. (ps. I. 1, The Holy Spirit teaches us, by these words, the necessity of meditation, and how salutary that exercise is for us. The religious who meditates on the law of the Lord, keeps himself in charity, increases in fervor, and constantly brings forth fruits Of life-and virtue. He, on the other hand, who does not meditate, will soon become like the field Of the sluggard, which produces nothing but thorns and brambles; or to a barren tree, of which it may be said, Why does it Occupy a place uselessly in the garden of religion?
