    • S. 626: „The "Third Method of Prayer" of St. Ignatius Loyola comes to mind when one reads the introduction to this little book of meditations. But where St. Ignatius with his fond lingering over words and phrases by way of rhythmic repetition stresses concentration on meaning and an effort toward understanding of each term, Guardini's technique emphasizes a passive receptivity of felt experience. He recommends a dwelling over phrases that seeks lovingly for the warmth of the living reality of God's nearness. „The reader must try to attend to individual words without tying them down too rigidly to a hard and fast meaning“; he should remember that „if he does find something that appears to contain no message for him, it may have been intended for someone else.“ In a number of instances the reader is admonished not to rely on intellectual effort and theoretical reasoning. Instead he is asked to be content with audible impressions and the rhythm of spoken cadences. Guardini's mastery of presentation is itself a great inducement to follow this form of prayer. His chapters read beautifully in a faithful translation. In the hands of a great guide in the spiritual life like the author this technique is undoubtedly effective. Lacking such guidance readers should proceed discreetly, always making sure that they do not overlook the calm and deliberate reasoning that must precede so much appeal to emotional reaction. It is to be noted that in the chapters „The Heart and God“ and „Repentance“ a certain ambiguity of expression has led the author himself to issue cautious advice. Where the major emphasis is on sensible impression almost to the disdain of thought there is need of discretion. With that taken care of, readers will find The Living God an attractive and inspiring book.“
