Book Two: Night of the Spirit│Chapter 17

Written By The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd

  1. The infusion of Divine Love in “dark contemplation” is in complete secret in a place within the soul that is totally inaccessible, “not at our                   disposal” (Merton)

  2. Contemplation, received as a secret gift, is totally indescribable.

  3. It is the transmission of pure spirit to spirit alone. Secret.

  4. See chapter one of New Seeds of Contemplation

The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd
