Reginald Garrigou-LagrangeA Christian should greatly aspire to these great things [of contemplation], and by increasingly perfect fidelity prepare himself for them, and humbly wait for the divine mercy to bestow them… Indeed, we ought to prepare ourselves for this; and if we do so generously, a day will come when the grace of contemplation will be given to us quite frequently.
Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange OP (1877–1964)
