At Saint Francis Xavier Church in Bangkok, Thailand

It is divine wisdom that purifies and illumines the soul in dark contemplation. It is the same wisdom that illumines the angels on matters of which they are ignorant. This wisdom descends from God through the first hierarchies unto the last and from these last finally passes over to humans.
Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
