Contemplative Notes:

“All rational beings, angels and men, possess two faculties, the power of knowing and the power of loving.  To the first, to the intellect, God who made them is forever unknowable, but to the second, to love, he is completely knowable, and that by every separate individual.  So much so that one loving soul by itself, through its love, may know for itself him who is incomparably more than sufficient to fill all souls that exist.  This is the everlasting miracle of love, for God always works in this fashion, and always will.  Consider this, if by God’s grace you are able to.  To know it for oneself is endless bliss; its contrary is endless pain."
