The love of God most high for our soul is so wonderful that it surpasses all knowledge. No created being can know the greatness, the tenderness, the love our Maker has for us. By his grace and help, therefore, let us in spirit stand and gaze, eternally marveling at the supreme, surpassing, single-minded, incalculable love that God, through his goodness, has for us. Then we can ask reverently of our Lover whatever we will, for, by nature, our will wants God and the goodwill of God wants us. We can never cease wanting and longing until we possess him in fullness of joy: then we shall have no further want. Meanwhile his will is that we go on knowing and loving until we are perfected in Heaven.
