CHAPTER XVII. NINTH MEDITATION.

Preparation.
1. PLACE yourself in the Presence of God.
2. Humble yourself before Him and ask His inspiration.
Considerations.
1. Imagine yourself alone with your good angel in an open plain, as was Tobit on his way to Rages. Suppose the Angel to set before you Paradise, full of delights and joys; and on the other hand Hell, with all its torments. Contemplate both, kneeling in imagination before your guardian Angel. Consider that you are most truly standing between Hell and Paradise, and that both the one and the other are open to receive you, according to your own choice.
