Mystics (mysticism)

Seek out the church of God and participate in its life and work.

   I know very well that you will be inclined to look upon the secret chamber as the only real place for intimate communion with God. But remember that the Christian’s life should not, like the mystic’s, rotate about one point, the secret chamber. The Christian’s life should rather be like an ellipse, which revolves about two fixed points: the secret chamber and the communion of the saints. Our inner life with God will suffer to the extent that we neglect these two centers of Christian edification.
