GRM 212.8 · Volume 3
The Gospel as revealed to me
Quotation
I am reading again what I wrote yesterday, rewriting some incomprehensible words, out of pity for your eyes, Father. It is distressing to read it… it is so inferior to what I felt while describing my mood! And yet, to be helped to say what the Lord made me feel, lest I should describe it in the wrong way and also for my own relief – because it is also painful, you know? – I invoked my St. John. I said to him: «You know these things very well. You experienced them. Help me.» And I was comforted by his presence, by his smile of an eternal good simple-minded man and by his caress. But now I feel that my poor word is so inferior to the feelings I experienced… All human things are straw, only the supernatural is gold. And a human being cannot even describe it.
