"...we cannot achieve our human fulfillment without communing with God - and the deeper our prayer, the deeper our fulfillment. As Scripture puts it, we become "perfect in beauty" because of the divine splendor that is given in a profound communion with the Lord. In the very heights of contemplative prayer heroic virtue is given. One becomes awesomely strong. This is the reason saints possess a miraculous goodness, a level of living neither they nor we can attain ourselves." (excerpt from Prayer Primer by Fr. Thomas Dubay)
