Light, Life, and Love: Selections from the German Mystics of the Middle Ages · Chapter 41On Pure Satisfaction of the Heart
This chapter is not translated yet. You are reading the original.

This pleasure and consolation is greater and more delicious to body and soul than all the pleasures granted on earth, even if a man could enjoy them to the full. In this pleasure God sinks into the heart by means of His gifts with such a profusion of delights, consolations, and joys, that the heart overflows internally.
