Pain And Desolation Poem by Genova Maaa my mother
Pain And Desolation
St. Theresa writes about the state of desolation: „As long as this pain lasts, it is impossible for the soul to think of anything that has to do with her own being: from the first instant all her faculties are suspended as far as this world is concerned, and they only preserve their activity in order to increase her martyrdom…..
This i repeat is an entrancement of the senses and the faculties….For the understanding perceives very clearly why the soul is in affliction, far from her God…. The pain thus grows to such a degree of intensity that in spite of oneself one cries aloud… this is not a pain which is felt in the body, but in the depths of the soul" (The interior castle, trans. of El Castillo Interior, Moradas Sextas, Chp. Xi)
