| Quotation | But, on the other hand, I read Ruysbroeck with joy, all about immediate contact with God, "meeting" Him in the unity of our Spirit - our natural and supernatural union with Him - how He wants us to dwell with Him "above all gifts, graces and virtues". The concept has been fascinating me for a year. |
