I think that in Heaven my mission will be to draw souls by helping them go out of themselves to cling to God by a wholly simple and loving movement, and to keep them in this great silence within that will allow God to communicate Himself to them and transform them into Himself.
Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity
Letter 335 to Sister Marie-Odile, O.C.D.

Elizabeth of the Trinity, S 2003, The Complete Works of Elizabeth of the Trinity volume 2: Letters from Carmel, translated from the French by Nash, A, ICS Publications, Washington DC.
Someone close to me said I was still Carmelite. I must be far more so than I realized, as this is exactly how I try to conduct my inner life! And this blog begins my days. I always did love St Elizabeth.
There are many people around the world who are Carmelites-at-heart. You are not alone!
