| Quotation | The day before the retreat began, two volumes of the Wisques translation (French) of Ruysbroeck arrived [Oeuvres de Ruysbroeck l'Admirable, 6 volumes (Brussels and Paris, 1912"”1938)]. Father Kothen in Belgium sent them. I had been trying to get them for more than two years. Everybody said it was impossible. So that is a great grace. Ruysbroeck's feast is the day after tomorrow. So I expect great things from him in this retreat. The important thing"”find out what God really wills for m"”perfect union with His will"”give Him everything without reservations. |
