What I related until now ~ that is, when the soul sees all

creation overflowing with God's presence, when it sees the

divine power or the divine wisdom ~ all this is inferior to this

most secret good, because this good which I see with

darkness is the whole, and all other things are but parts."

Ah, Mazie, what a sublime treat! This is one of my favorite

passages...because it is so sincere and so eloquently encompasses the

experience of divine

discovery and remaking of the self in a state of grace.

 

Don't you feel the desire to hug Angela...to embrace her across time and

space in any way possible and then, I suppose in a sort of self-consicious bit

of humor realize that it really means we should be embracing whomever we can,

whenever we can?

 

Much Love,

 

(with space embrace)
