"'... whenever the heart begins to
burn with a desire for God, she is made able to receive the uncreated light and, inspired and fulfilled by the gifts of the Holy Ghost, she
tastes the joys of heaven. She
transcends all visible things and is
raised to the sweetness of eternal life... Herein truly is
perfect love; when all the intent of the mind, all the secret working of the heart, is
lifted up into the love of God.' That God can be known by the soul in tender personal experience while remaining infinitely aloof from the curious eyes of reason constitutes a paradox best described as
Darkness to the intellect
Sunshine to the heart
-Frederick W. Faber"
