“We must indeed go out of ourselves, we must do all we can to go out to meet him, but it is He who comes. The person who does not withdraw himself from his embrace, by constantly wandering among earthly things and not opening his heart to him, will finally experience his love, his superabundant love… The way to this grace consists in increasing our receptivity… Then God will not withhold from us the pleasantness of being aware of union, nay, of unity with himself.”

Bl. Titus Brandsma
