| BkV:13.II.3 | God enlarges your heart imperceptibly. The mind does not participate, nor the heart itself, but both become conscious of this widening once it has been realized. This is why souls pierced by the dart of Divine Love begin to recognize things that did not previously exist—expressions of love, sweetness, beauty, and holiness emerge that had not emerged before. This transformation by Divine Love in the soul, although its effects are not perceptible until afterwards, can leave the mind stunned for a while until mind and heart come together. |
