O Lord, you called the hour of your Passion “your hour,” the hour for which you had come, the hour you welcomed with all your desires. When a great or even a very small sacrifice presents itself to me, I want to think quickly that this is “my hour,” the hour in which I can give a proof of my love to you, who have loved me exceedingly.
Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880–1906)
