Edith SteinThe unbounded loving surrender to God and God’s return gift, full and enduring union: this is the highest elevation of the heart attainable, the highest level of prayer. Souls who have attained it are truly the heart of the Church… Hidden with Christ in God, they can do nothing but radiate to other hearts the divine love that fills them.
Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
