Spiritual reading is a regular, essential part of the life of prayer, and particularly is it the support of adoring prayer.

The mystic cannot wholly do without symbol and image, inadequate to his vision though they must always be: for his experience must be expressed if it is to be communicated, and its actuality is inexpressible except in some hint or parallel which will stimulate the dormant intuition of the reader.

As the beautiful does not exist for the artist and poet alone—though these can find in it more poignant depths of meaning than other men—so the world of Reality exists for all; and all may participate in it, unite with it, according to their measure and to the strength and purity of their desire.

As the social self can only be developed by contact with society, so the spiritual self can only be developed by contact with the spiritual world.

If God were small enough to be understood, He would not be big enough to be worshipped.
