First, you are able to distinguish the path to follow clearly, and you are walking resolutely on this path. Next, you are becoming increasingly open to others, capable of understanding, loving and helping all creatures, and you feel an unmistakeable dilation in your heart, which moves you to give constant thanks to the Lord.
