A heart that would contemplate must be bright as a mirror, shimmer like
some still stretch of water crystal clear, so that in it and through it the
mind may see itself, as in and through a mirror, an image in the image of God.
The heart that covets the sight of God as in a mirror must keep itself free
from cares, from harmful, unnecessary and even necessary ones. It must keep
itself ever alert through reading, meditation and prayer. “Blessed are the pure
of heart; they shall see God.” (Mt 5:8)
Isaac of Stella (12th
Century)
