The third form of meditation, the inspection of our own life, also calls for a six-fold explanation.

It has, to start with, always a double aspect, an inner and outer way of approach. We must keep our conscience spotless so that we always can account for our acts before God. Yet externally we must ever think of leading an exemplary life in the eyes of our neighbors. We have been placed here among our brethren by God to strive together toward the high ideals which He placed before our mind’s eye but unless we guard jealously the purity of our cionscience, we cannot gather merits internally.

Bl. Titus Brandsma
