If I cannot as yet be all heavenly and all on fire, like the cherubim and seraphim, I will, however, endeavour to apply myself to devotion, and to prepare my heart for the acquiring some small flame of divine love.
-Bk. IV, ch. iv.
______________
A few days after I had made my oblation to the All Merciful Love, I had just begun to make the Stations of the Cross in choir, when I was suddenly pierced by a flaming dart, so fiery that I nearly died. It was as if some unseen force had plunged me into fire. I can find no words to express the intensity of the flame, nor the delight which accompanied it.
