raptured
Overcome with joy
Raptured means seized with intense emotion—ecstasy, joy, or spiritual transport.
The word usually appears in religious contexts describing souls taken up to heaven: The faithful will be raptured before the tribulation.
Outside theology, it suggests being carried away by overwhelming feeling: She stood raptured before the painting.
