L III, dist. 35, a. 1, q. 2. [1] No doubt, there are Saints who have at times experienced transports of love, which manifested themselves by sensible phenomena; these however were not produced by the Saints themselves, but by the grace of God. To wish to stir up violent emotions in oneself by way of imitation of the Saints would amount to presumption. [2] Phil., IV, 7. [1] Matth., VII, 21. [2] ST.
