“There is no reason to marvel at God's granting such sublime and strange gifts to souls He decides to favor. If we consider that He is God and that He bestows them as God, with infinite love and goodness, it does not seem unreasonable. For He declared that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit would take up their abode in those who love him by making them live the life of God and dwell in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit”.  -St John of the Cross - “The Living Flame of Love” - Prologue, Section 2
