Someone sent me this query today:
Does God not make all people with the ability to deep intimacy with Him? Is it actually impossible for some as they are not wired to 'get' detachment or abandonment and they have no interest? Is it just not in their data-base to 'get it'?
So I looked up Divine Intimacy (which has a very handy index) and sent her Fr Gabriel's answer:
What is of the greatest importance is to know that union with God is not reserved for a small number of privileged souls; God calls every soul of good will to union with Himself, regardless of the way by which He chooses to lead it. Hence the ordinary way, “the little way”, as St Therese of the Child Jesus called it, or the “carriage road”, according to St Maria Bertilla, leads just as surely to divine union. ... Whether God chooses to lead us by one way or by the other, we shall never lack the necessary divine help to attain to union with Him.
