Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury Has Some Advice for Advent Discipline

Escape from your everyday business for a short while, hide for a moment from your restless thoughts. Break off from your cares and troubles and be less concerned about your tasks and labors. Make a little time for God and rest a while in him. Enter into your mind’s inner chamber. Shut out everything but God and whatever helps you to seek him; and when you have shut the door, look for him. Speak now to God and say with your whole heart: “I seek your face; your face, Lord, I desire.”

Proslogion 1
