Elisabeth de la Trinité

All Saints

La ronde des Saints - vitrail

I live in thanksgiving, uniting myself to the eternal praise
that is being sung in the Heaven of the Saints.

I am keeping a rendez-vous with you in the Furnace of love; my eternity will be spent there.

Feu

And then when evening comes, after an endless dialogue in our heart,
again let us sleep in Love. Perhaps we will see faults, infidelities;
let us abandon them to Love: it is a consuming fire.
- 4 -
I beg you, oh, mark everything with the seal of love! It all alone endures.
- 5 -
How serious life is: each minute is given us
in order to “root” us deeper in God, as Saint Paul says.
- 6 -
The evening of my life has arrived, the evening that precedes the eternal day,
and I feel an even stronger overflowing of love in the depths of my heart.
- 7 -
The entire Trinity rests within us, this whole mystery that will be our vision in Heaven.
- 8 -
I think that in Heaven my mission will be to draw souls
by helping they go out of themselves to cling to God by a wholly simple and loving movement,
and to keep them in this great silence within that will allow God
to communicate Himself to them and transform them into Himself.

(Looking at her Crucifix) We loved each other so much!

Oiseau en vol avec soleil couchant

(Her last words) I am going to Light, to Love and to Life!
- 11 -
It seems to me that I have found my Heaven on earth,
since Heaven is God, and God is my soul.
- 12 -
Death...is the sleep of the child resting on the heart of its mother.
- 13 -
Let us be united in loving Him. I would so like to live only by love,
very high above this earth where everything leaves a void in the soul.
- 14 -
If God hasn’t broken the cloth yet
That hides from my eyes the brightness of his Beauty,
Ah at least, by faith I lift the cloth
And I live with Him in His eternity.
- 15 -
We belong to “the city of the saints and the House of God”.
Oh then, why not live there now, since in the depths of our soul
we possess Him who will one day make our beatitude!
- 16 -
I leave you my faith in the presence of God, of the God who is all Love dwelling in our souls.
I confide to you: it is the intimacy with Him “within” that has been the beautiful sun illuminating my life,
making it already an anticipated Heaven.

Sous-bois d'automne

Let us empty our soul so He can come forth in it and communicate the eternal life.
- 18 -
Even now in the night of faith, the union is so profound, the embraces so heavenly!
What will it be, in that first face-to-face, in God’s great light,
that first meeting with divine Beauty!
- 19 -
My dream is to be “the praise of His glory”, this was to be my vocation while in exile,
waiting to go sing the eternal Sanctus in the city of the saints.
- 20 -
Whether in Heaven or on earth, we must live in Love to glorify Love!
- 21 -
O my Three, my All, my Beatitude, infinite Solitude, Immensity in which I lose myself,
I surrender myself to you as Your prey. Bury Yourself in me that I may bury myself in You
until I depart to contemplate in Your light the abyss of Your greatness.
- 22 -
He is within us to sanctify us, so let us ask Him to be Himself our sanctity.
- 23 -
In this last hour of my exile, in this beautiful evening of life,
how solemn everything looks to me in the light coming to me from eternity...
- 24 -
Solemnity of Christ the King

Christ Roi - atelier monastère de Bethléem

Let us make the Christ grow in our souls,
let us keep Him alone and set apart ; may He be truly King.
- 25 -
The soul that wants to serve God...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.
- 26 -
O my God, Trinity whom I adore, help me to forget myself entirely
that I may be established in You as still as peaceful as if my soul were already in eternity.
- 27 -
Let us prepare for our eternity, let us live with Him,
for He alone can accompany and help us on this great journey.
He is a God of love.
- 28 -
How sweet and gentle death is for souls who have loved only Him.
- 29 -
I think that the “new song“ which will most charm and captivate my God
is that of a soul stripped and freed from self,
one in whom He can reflect all that He is, and do all that He wills.
- 30 -
Isn’t our mission also to prepare the way of the Lord
through our union with Him whom the apostle calls a “consuming fire”?
