ElisabethO my Jesus, I have loved too much created things, I have given myself too much to them, and I have desired their love too much. Or, rather, I did not know how to love, love divinely! But now, I know it, I hold myself only to you and, moreover, Beloved of my heart, I only seek to be loved by you.
Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880–1906)
