Self-disclosure Quotes

By definition, memoir demands a certain degree of introspection and self-disclosure: In order to fully engage a reader, the narrator has to make herself known, has to allow her own self-awareness to inform the events she describes. (Caroline Knapp)
What deserves to be called mysticism-not in the vague sense of the history and philosophy of religion, but rather in the Catholic-ecclesial sense-occurs when God's Word is heard, not only with exegetical and theological understanding, but with the whole heart, the whole being, when one is steadfast before the self-disclosure of the heart of God despite fire and night.
