My beloved child, it isn’t pride to think that you don’t want an easy life; I truly believe that God wants that your life passes in a sphere where the air to breathe is divine… It seems to me that those who are happy in this world are those with enough contempt of self and forgetfulness of self to choose the Cross for their part!
Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880–1906)
