Bl Elizabeth of the Trinity: "The divine world that envelops us already"

"When we consider the divine world that envelops us already here in our exile and in which we can move, oh, then things here below disappear; all of that doesn’t exist, it is less than nothing. The saints, for their part, understood true knowledge so well, the knowledge that makes us leave everything, and especially ourselves, so we can fly to God and live solely with Him!"
