“…When you find yourself upset, enter into the Heart of Jesus in spirit, in that furnace of love, and let that fire penetrate you completely and inflame you with holy love…” ~Paul of the Cross to Agnes Grazi – 17th letter on July 26, 1735 in Vol. 1 on Page 108 for Paul's Letter 83) “…When we are united to God more than iron is united to fire, for without ceasing to be iron, it seems to be all fire; so we shall be so transformed into God that the soul will be completely divinized…” ~Paul of the Cross to Agnes Grazi – 54th letter on August 29, 1737 in Vol. 1 on Page 209 for Paul's Letter 162) “…Our soul is the living temple of God, and you need to keep the fire always lit in our hearts, which is the true altar of this temple, where the loving soul sacrifices its entire self to the Highest Good as the victim of holocaust, all burnt up and consumed in the holy fire of Divine Love…” ~Paul of the Cross to Agnes Grazi – 161st letter – no date is given as to when Paul wrote this letter - in Vol. 1 on Page 438 for Paul's Letter 161) |
