“The eternal spirit has an appetite for spiritual things. To flourish, it has to be fed with catalytic ideas which stimulate the faith that one can indeed continually interact with the miraculous.

The mind must be fixed on God and nourished from the hidden springs.”
Catherine Thomas, Light in the Wilderness, viii.
