“Thus does Hane explain the coming of the Lord into the soul. He exclaims with St. Paul: ‘Rejoice, the Lord is at hand.’ St. Teresa is in remarkable agreement with Hane in many of the images which he uses; so much so that it would seem as if Teresa were familiar with his works. Like him, she insists in the first instance that we should open our souls to God. Acknowledging our sins, we should betake ourselves to God and being consumed in God, we should be cleansed from our sins and imperfections and be free to advance to His love.”
Bl. Titus Brandsma
