Lenten Meditation - April 2, 2006

Once being asked how one becomes enraptured, the Venerable Father Fray John of the Cross, replied: by denying one’s own will and doing the will of God; for an ecstasy is nothing else than going out of self and being caught up in God; and this is what he who obeys does; he leaves himself and his desire, and thus unburdened plunges himself in God.
