C hi turns completely cover the eye and Christ on the cross, through faith, hope and charity, takes with him the Passover, ie the transition. Thanks to the cross through the Red Sea, leaving Egypt to go into the wilderness to enjoy a "hidden manna", rest with Christ in the tomb, as he died in his party outside and still feel, as far as possible in our state of travelers, the words spoken by Christ on the cross to the thief who came up with confidence, "Today thou shalt be with me in Paradise." This was also shown to the blessed Francis, in the ecstasy of contemplation on the top of the mountain, when he appeared, crucified by the six wings of the Seraph. There he crossed in God, and became the model of perfect contemplation, as before the action was, that God through him, more by example than by words, pushed all truly spiritual men to this kind of way and to go beyond knowledge.
Why this step is perfect, it is necessary that all transactions are abandoned and intellectuals who love , at the peak of its capabilities, you pour totally in God and be transformed in him . This is absolutely mystical and mysterious condition that "no one knows except those who receive it," and no one except those who want to receive, and no if you do not want the people in their underwear is inflamed by the fire of the Holy Spirit.
To reach this goal, nothing can the nature and little commitment, little depends on the research and dall'unzione very, very heavily on the language and the inner joy, just the words and the essay and everything from the gift of God, that the Holy Spirit; little or nothing and everything depends on the creature from the essence of creation.
Tell yourself with Dionysius, "You, my friend, made from firmer ground covered, now in mystical contemplation, leave the operations of sense and intellect, sensible things and invisible, being and non being, and leaving by knowledge, Back , as you can, unit who is above all essence and all science . In fact, proceeding than yourself, and beyond any reality with absolutely immeasurable ecstasy of the mind purified, we shall rise to the divine light sovraessenziale of darkness, leaving everything and free and unfettered. "
If you ask how this could happen, ask grace, not science, and the desire, intelligence, and the cry of prayer, not the study, the groom, not the teacher, God, not man ; the darkness, not clarity, not light, but the fire that burns everything and delivers in God through the anointing of the ecstasy of love and ardor. This fire is God, and certainly the only one who perceives says: "My soul and my bones want to stifle the death wish." Who loves this death can see God, for it is certainly true that: "No man will see me and live." Then we die and enter the dark, imposing silence the concerns, desires, and image maps. Let us exult with David, saying, "It consumes my flesh and my heart, God of my heart and my purpose for eternity."
