left QuoteST ELIZABETH OF THE TRINITY (1880-1906

“It seems to me that I have found my heaven on earth, since heaven is God, and God is in my soul. The day I understood that, everything became clear to me and I would like to whisper this secret to those I love, so that they too might cling to God through everything, and always carry Him within themselves. Then nothing can ever separate us, and in everything we can find Him.  There is so much silence in my soul, it is like a heavenly music, and it is in this silence that I find God.”
