A description of the experience
St John of the Cross
One of the greatest favours bestowed on the soul transiently in this life is to enable it to see so distinctly and to feel so profoundly that it realises it cannot comprehend God at all.
These souls are herein somewhat like the saints in heaven, where they who know Him most perfectly perceive that He is infinitely incomprehensible.
For those who have the less clear vision do not perceive so clearly as do these others how greatly He transcends their vision.
