Ave Maria!— August’s Theme: Spiritual Aridity
“The darkness that encircles the heaven of your souls are light, and you do well to say that you do not see anything, and that you find yourselves in the midst of an ardent thorn bush. The thorn bush burns, the whole air is filled with clouds and the spirit does not see or understand anything. But God speaks, though, and is present to the soul that listens, hears, loves and fears.”
