O, how… you should be overwhelmed with joy
when you are visited… by the interior graces that you receive daily from His
divine Majesty by means of so many inspirations and words that He speaks to
your hearts! For He is always near,
knocking and speaking to you about what He desires you to do for His love… You
should listen to him with great attention, and faithfully and promptly carry
out his divine will!
The true mark of a divine visitation is
transformation.
--François de Sales, Oeuvres 9:168 & 10:76.
