Not All Saints Were Contemplatives

 St. Francis deSales

Blessed are they who live a superhuman, ecstatic life, raised above themselves, but not ravished beyond themselves in prayer! Many saints are in heaven who were never in ecstasy or ravishment of contemplation; for of how many martyrs and great saints does history tell us that they have never had in prayer any other privilege then devotion and fervor!
