“First, in the fourth mansion of the Castle, St. Teresa speaks of recollection, of the necessity of finding God in the center of the soul: God who dwells in us. A most perfect union with Him must be attained. For St. Teresa, that recollection leads to a state of quiet and satisfaction, of enthrallment by that which the soul, after the recollection, sees in itself as the greatest good, namely its Beloved, who dwells in the soul and who should not be sought elsewhere. The knowledge of possessing the Beloved, of being in His Presence gives the soul a quiet pleasure, enthralls the powers of the soul, carries all its attention to God.“
Bl. Titus Brandsma
