[Salvation]

When we say we recollect something, doesn’t it mean that we remember it?

Or does it mean in this context, to be quiet and collect yourself unto yourself so that you can really listen to the Voice of Jesus

I went back and re-read st teresa's the Way of Perfection last night, about the prayer of recollection. I think that it is what is referred to. St Faustina would probably have known of it, wouldn't she ? (I don't know anything about her). Its an interior prayer of turning the attention to focus on the Jesus within- of re-remebering His presence there and being aware of it.

( I hadn't read anythng of St Teresa's book except the part on the prayer of quiet because I love Father Thomas Keating and have practiced centering prayer for a few years now).

A neat thing is that I have been practicing that prayer style for a few months- quite spontaneously it came upon me, but I had stopped doing it.I will pick it back up.

I shared your post with mr rb this morning in our devotion period and it sure rang true. Thank you again for sharing.
