“Obedience is the only virtue that implants the other virtues in the heart and preserves them after they have been so implanted.”

                        -Pope St. Gregory the Great

..., Father Arintero has left a trail, a trend, a mystical school that is well defined.  His teachings have been accepted by many writers and, what is more important, they have been and are being lived by many souls who have traveled and are traveling along that same mystical path. It is undeniable that to Father Arintero belongs a place  of honor in the present intense movement toward mystical theology and the present-day living of the mystical life by many souls who, amid the tumult of this century, are continually elevated to God.
