We want to know God, not merely to know that he exists . . . We want to get to know him, to appreciate his qualities and to feel at home in his presence. How are we to do that? . . .You will get to know God in proportion as you do your best, whether in your times of prayer or out of your times of prayer, to put yourself in his presence . . . Reflect that God who is Spirit is directly present to your soul which is also spirit, and that his influence manifests itself in every motion of your will, in every thought.

- Monsignor Ronald Knox
