Reginald Garrigou-LagrangeWhat the great spiritual writers tell us about contemplative prayer is within the reach of the interior soul if it is willing to follow the way of humility and abnegation, and if it daily grasps a little better the following verse of the Magnificat: “He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly” [Lk 1:52].
Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange OP (1877–1964)
