“Whoever remains in me as I in them, will bear much fruit” (John 15). That’s the language of all of the mystics—the language of union. If it’s not the language of union, don’t trust it.
Mother Teresa said that a person consciously filling a vase with water—out of union and love of God—is giving more glory to God than a priest at the altar who is standing there in a state of anger or separateness. It’s all about the who, not the what and we spend all of our time concentrating on what “I” should do."
