Contemplation
"...Oh! how fortunate is that soul who hides herself as a pure nothing in that great Heart of Jesus and, there, passes by means of holy contemplation and loses herself in the Infinite Divinity and, there, rests in a holy vision of pure faith without images or figures, and lives deprived of all desire for comfort or spiritual delights..." ~ to Agnes Grazi (Grazi's 103rd letter on
"...This
divine contemplation has the property of
being secret and above one's natural capacity, not merely because it
is supernatural, but also because it is the way which guides the
soul to the perfections of union with God, toward which one must
advance humanly by not knowing and divinely by ignorance, since they
are not humanly knowable..."
~John of the Cross from
"The Dark Night"
