JOURNEY TO GOD
One model you can follow in your journey to God is a contemplative model provided by Saint Francis's third follower, Giles of Assisi. According to Brother Giles:
1. He must forget himself and burn with the most ardent desire for union with God.
2. He must be anointed by the consoling balm that is poured on fervent souls bythe Holy Spirit to heal the loss he feels for things he surrendered.
3. He must achieve the kind of ecstasy that abandons the things of sense and turns to God Who is found within.
4. He then must be open to the presence of eternal light through contemplation.
5. He must experience the refreshment that comes from tasting God, like the Israelites, who Exodus describes with the words: "The behld God, and they ate and were refreshed" (Exodus 24:11).
6. He must embrace God.
7. And, then the sabbath rest will be given to him and he will sleep in the arms of the Lord.
