Mother Teresa

I know this sounds strange to some people, but it is consistent with
much of Christian thinking, both modern and historical. The mystic
poet, San Juan de la Cruz sent away singers who had come to his room
to console him remarking that the pleasure of the song would make him
forget the pain that God had sent him. This was in the 16th century.
