Lenten Meditation - April 7, 2006

O Light, Beauty, absolute Love, O my God, when will men love Thee, Thee alone, leaving all that draws them away from this pure union with Thee, seeing only one thing: the soul that Thou has given them and Thee, O my God, who livest in this soul and shouldst be the sole guide and judge of their acts and lives?

- Elisabeth Leseur (1866-1914), from The Secret Diary of Elisabeth Leseur: Daily Thoughts (1899 – 1906)
