Friday, August 18th

She no longer feels “hunger or thirst,” for in spite of her consuming desire for Beatitude, she is satisfied by this food which was her Master’s: “The will of the Father.” “She no longer feels the heat of the sun,” that is, she no longer suffers from suffering. Then the Lamb can “lead her to the fountain of life,” where He wills, as He wills, for she does not look at the paths on which she is walking; she simply gazes at the Shepherd who is leading her.

– St. Elizabeth of the Trinity
