(…) it’s important for us to cultivate this condition of waiting. And of course, that’s a question of practice as well. That’s why the two periods of meditation practice in a regular faithful way are important, because that is how this state of mind or this attitude of waiting is developed. ‘Be of good courage,’ it says in Psalm 27. ‘Be of good courage. Whoever waits for the Lord shall renew their strength.’ (Ps 27:14) ‘Whoever waits for the Lord will renew their strength.’ In other words, we find that meditation helps to refresh us, to renew us, it gives us more energy.
