“God gives many souls the talent and grace for advancing, and should they desire to make the effort they would arrive at this high state. And so it is sad to see them continue in their lowly method of communion with God because they do not want or know how to advance. . . . Some souls, instead of abandoning themselves to God and cooperating with Him, hamper Him by their indiscreet activity or their resistance. They resemble children who kick and cry and struggle to walk by themselves when their mothers want to carry them.”
― Wilfrid Stinissen, Eternity in the Midst of Time
