In imitation of our (heavenly) Father, we should make Jesus the sole object of our minds and our hearts. We should see and love all things in him, and should see and love only him in all things. We should do everything in him and for him. We should place all our satisfaction and our paradise in him… Look then upon this very lovable Savior as the unique object of your thoughts, desires and affections; as the sole goal of all your actions; as your center, your paradise and your all.

Go to him from wherever you are as to a place of refuge, by lifting up your mind and your heart to him. Remain always in him, that is to say, let your mind and your heart, all your thoughts, desires and affections be in him, let all your actions be done in him and for him.
Remember, from time to time, that you are before God and in God himself, that Our Lord Jesus Christ, according to his divinity, surrounds you on all sides, indeed penetrates and fills you, so much so that he is more in you than you are yourself; that he never stops thinking of you, and that his eyes and his heart are always turned towards you.
