Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity It is not a veil, but rather a thick wall, that hides Him from me… But I am ready to endure this state long enough so that it pleases my Beloved, because faith is there all the same; as regards sweetnesses or consolations, they are not Him; and it is Him whom we seek. Let us go, then, towards Him in pure faith.
Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880–1906)
