Saint Augustine says: “Love forgets its own dignity and thirsts for the upliftment and enrichment of the beloved being: the measure of love is that it is without measure.” I pray to God that He fills you with this measure without measure, and thus “from His rich divine glory.” May the weight of love lead you to that happy loss of self, which the apostle spoke of when he exclaimed: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.”
(Elizabeth of the Trinity, letter to Abbé Chevignard, November 29, 1904)
