Episode Description: Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity - Letter 184

“It does us much good to look into the soul of saints and then to follow them through faith right up to Heaven; there, they are all luminous with the light of God, whom they contemplate face to face for all eternity!... The Heaven of the saints is our homeland. It is the Father's House where we are awaited, where we are loved, where one day we, too will be able to fly and rest in the bosom of Infinite Love!

When we consider the divine world that envelops us already here in our exile and in which we can move, oh, then things here below disappear; all of that doesn't exist, it is less than nothing. The saints, for their part, understood true knowledge so well, the knowledge that makes us leave everything, and especially ourselves, so we can fly to God and live solely with Him!”
