The great German Jesuit Karl Rahner (yes, we love everyone!) said:  "The Christian of the future will be a mystic or he will not exist at all."  Very interesting!  Who is a 'mystic'?  Who can be a 'mystic'?

The answer is that each of us should strive to be a 'mystic'.  A mystic lives in union with Christ.  "Spiritual progress tends toward ever more intimate union with Christ."  (Catholic Catechism #2014)  As spiritual writers have put it: our will must become God's will (e.g. St. John of the Cross).  Thus, we will be in union with Christ who came to do the Father's will.  This is a life-time project but what a life!
