Be My Dwelling, My Rest

"O my God, Blessed Trinity, be my dwelling, my rest, my Father's house which I shall never leave. Let me abide in You, not for a few fleeting minutes or hours, but permanently, habitually. May I pray in You, adore in You, love in You, suffer in You, work and act in You alone. Let me remain in You to offer myself to others through You, to attend to all my duties, while always penetrating further into Your divine depths. O Lord, grant that every day I may advance along the path of the abyss that leads me to You, that lets me slide down this slope with a confidence full of love."

Sister Elizabeth of the Trinity

  1. Thank you, Fr. John, for this blog. I love Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity. She was so simple in her love for God. I wish we could all be like that!
