“He [God] mysteriously infuses or imparts his love into us. God powerfully invades us when we persevere patiently through this suffering. Our great temptation is to quit or go backward, but if we remain still, listening for his voice, God will insert something of himself into our character that will mark the rest of our journey with him” (p.105).

For this reason, John of the Cross wrote that God sends us "the dark night of loving fire" to free us” (p.104).
