An uninterrupted colloquy with the Divine Word (St. Jane Frances de Chantal)

          The glorious Virgin Mary kept her heart in uninterrupted colloquy with the Divine Word who was within her pure and chaste womb.  So should we in the highest part of our soul and mind look at our Lord and there shut ourselves up alone with him, talk with him, sit at his feet; and this, not only after communion, but all the day.
