Mother Teresa

When the soul is naughted and transformed, then of herself she neither works nor speaks nor wills, nor feels nor hears nor understands; neither has she of herself the feeling of outward or inward, where she may move.

And she is so full of peace that thought she pressed her flesh, her nerves, her bones, no other thing come forth from them than peace.
Catherine of Genoa
