“Remain in Me.” (Jn. 15:4) It is the Word of God who gives this order, expresses this wish. Remain with Me, not for a few moments, a few hours which must pass away, but “remain…” permanently, habitually, Remain in Me, pray in Me, adore in Me, love in Me, suffer in Me, work and act in Me. Remain in Me so that you may be able to encounter anyone or anything; penetrate further still into these depths.
–Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880-1906)
