In deepest solitude
I found the narrow way:
a secret giving such release
that I was stunned and stammering
rising above all science.
~ from I CAME INTO THE UNKNOWING by St. John of the Cross
Divine peace has an inner and outer manifestation. Exteriorly, it manifests as fire, as zeal, as transformation, as death and rebirth. Interiorly, it manifests as silence, as knowledge, as joy, as union with the Beloved: a joy of union that is capable of communicating itself to others.
