Awareness absorbed and amazed
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)

Contemplation and prayer…
Just as love and self-control destroy evil thought so contemplation and prayer destroy all self-exaltation.
–Saint Thalassios the Libyan (6th-7th Centuries)
Capable of growth…
When the soul has arrived at the attainment of the general light [contemplation]… she should not remain contented, because, as long as you are pilgrims in this life, you are capable of growth, and he who does not go forward, by that very fact, is turning back.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
