Moral good consists

in the control of the passions and

the restruction of the inordinate appetites. The result for the soul is

tranquility, peace, repose, and moral

virtue. The soul cannot control the

passion without forgetting and

withdrawing from the sources of

these emotions. Disturbances never

arise in a soul unless through the

apprehensions of the memory. 

The soul must go to God by not

comprehending rather than by comprehending and it must exchange

the mutable and comprehensible for

the Immutable and Incomprehensible.

St. John of the Cross
