this doctrine of dying to self is the law for every Christian, for Christ said: “If anyone wants to follow Me, let him take up his cross and deny himself.” (Mk 8:34) But this doctrine which seems so austere, takes on a delightful sweetness when we consider the outcome of this death— life in God in place of our life of sin and misery.
–Saint Elizabeth of the Blessed Trinity (1880-1906)
