"I never found anyone so religious and
devout as not to have sometimes a subtraction of grace, or feel a diminution of
fervor. No saint was ever so highly rapt and illuminated as not to be tempted
sooner or later. For he is not worthy of the high contemplation of God who has
not, for God’s sake, been exercised with some tribulation."
— Thomas à Kempis, Imitation of Christ, p. 65
