"May my life be a continual prayer,
one long act of love.
May nothing be able to distract me from You.
I would like so much, O my Master,
to live with You in silence.
But what I love above all is to do Your will,
and since You still want me to be in the world,
I submit with all my heart for love of You.
I offer to You the cell of my heart;
may it be Your little Bethany.
Come to rest there.
I love you so."
~Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity
