Just yesterday, I used this quote from Elizabeth of the Trinity for a class I facilitate:
“A few days before her death in 1906, Elizabeth of the Trinity wrote a note to the prioress of her Carmelite monastery. In it, she kept repeating a phrase that could well be a call to everyone: ‘Let yourself be loved. . . LET yourself be loved. . . LET yourself be loved.’”

Thank you for this connection.
