"If you desire to know. . . Ask Grace, not instruction; Desire, not understanding; the Groaning of Prayer, not diligent reading; the Spouse, not the teacher; God, not man; Darkness not clarity; not light, but Fire that totally inflames and carries us into God by ecstatic unctions and burning affections." ~ Bonaventure, the Seraphic Doctor Art: St. Francis in Ecstasy (Caravaggio)
