Converse with Him frequently (St. Francis de Sales)

Make frequent aspirations to God, 

by short but ardent movements of your heart; 

admire His beauty; 

implore His assistance; 

cast yourself in spirit at the foot of the Cross; 

adore His goodness; 

converse with Him frequently; 

present your soul to Him a thousand times a day; 

fix your interior eyes upon His sweetness; 

stretch out your hand to Him, as a little child to his father, 

that He may lead you; 

place Him in your heart, like a fragrant bouquet; 

plant Him in your soul like a standard; 

and make a thousand different motions of your heart, 

to give you a love of God 

and to arouse yourself to a passionate and tender affection 

for this divine Spouse.  

--St. Francis de Sales, Introduction to the Devout Life (2:13)
