‘And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb.’ Just before His Passion, the Lord promised the inalienable joy of the Resurrection to His disciples and all those who loved Him, ‘I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.’ As He went forth to His incomprehensible Passion, setting His face to derision and extreme humiliation, He promised that the joy of the Resurrection would become imperishable in the souls of all who belong to Him.

That the only thing proper to these spiritual individuals is contrition and being moved. And, most likely this is the only way for us to feel. But this is also the way to meet them. That, knowing the bodily and spiritual struggles–many times surpassing nature–struggles, but also “intoxication” and eros to come to know Christ, one becomes inept and inebriated from such a great struggle and violence for the One Beloved . And this violence and struggle and frenzied love cannot and should not be properly described, nor neglected due to the wondrous ...
