"All my theology, all my science is love!"

"Sometimes I envy those who have the good fortune of studying theology! But does not prayer and divine contemplation surpass the highest studies in knowledge, in love, and in power?

This experience is deeper, more luminous, and more fruitful than science.

As for me, all my theology, all my science, is love: the union of my soul with God through Jesus Christ, with the Blessed Virgin! Nothing more and nothing less!"

Marthe Robin, January 22, 1930
