When God gives Himself, He places us in an attitude of waiting. This should be our pervading climate — remembering always that the soul goes through many stages — at each state it is illuminated, receiving a light that is always new; at each new stage it is flooded with the light of Wisdom, and it will come, at last, to the Father of all light.
