“We can look for God with our eyes. God can also act so overwhelmingly that we have to see him. He can determine our gaze. If we use our intellect to full advantage and do not remain hanging back at the mere surface of things, then we shall ascend from the finite to the Infinite… If we seek this, we shall find it. For if we adjust ourselves of this Object, then it determines us, fascinates us. And so there is continuous interaction between the passive and the active in the process of recollecting ourselves, which we could also call a turning towards God.”

Bl. Titus Brandsma
