“During these Masses, when it came time for the elevation of the precious Body of our Lord, Colette would adore with a profound humility and great reverence and awe … weeping so abundantly and so compassionately that it seemed she must completely melt in weeping and in tears and in crying and sighing so loudly and agonizingly that those within and without who heard her were filled with compassion and astonishment. And of His majesty and mighty grandeur and excellence and worthy glorious presence she had so wondrous a sense and understanding that many times those who were present thought truly that our Lord was manifesting and showing Himself to her by a special grace in a form and manner that was, as it pleased Him, either glorious or humiliated and sorrowing, visible to her alone. After this adoration oftentimes her heart would remain so very ardent and inflamed with the most perfect love of God, and her spirit so elevated and perfectly united to Him, that it seemed she was as if wholly transfigured in Him and ravished above nature, and all her natural senses would cease from the use of their function.” - Life of St. Colette, #108./61, by Fr. Pierre du Vaux
