Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity I’m going to give you my “secret”: think that this God lives in you, you being the temple; it’s Saint Paul who tells us this much, so you can believe it. Little by little, the soul becomes accustomed to live in his gentle company, she understands that she bears within herself a little Heaven where the God of love has come to stay. Then it’s like a divine atmosphere that she breathes…
Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880–1906)
