By meditation, the soul walks afoot with labour; by contemplation, it flies without trouble. Thus Saint Teresa said, that when God had admitted her to this sort of prayer, her difficulties ceased at once, and she experienced a powerful attraction towards acts of all virtues, attended with a marvellous relish and sweetness.
Louis Lallemant SJ (1578–1635)
