17. She continues to explain the third stage of prayer

[John]

17. She continues to explain the third stage of prayer, and completes her account of its effects. She tells of the hindrances caused in this state by the imagination and the memory

[Sheila]

She attempts to articulate the unfathomable, to give the reader a mystic's experience of profound prayer. A premonition of heaven. Someone in this group may know of what she speaks; I don't, so I appreciate her humble and detailed efforts to describe it to me.

[Jill]

She tells her confessor than enjoyment of this kind of prayer precedes understanding/explanation of it.
