"...In such a way you need to be at prayer in perfect nakedness and poverty of soul with the higher part of your mind attentive to God, seated peacefully in the seat of great suffering, in a peaceful silence and without complaint, within or without, except for a childlike cry, such as: “Oh, my Father, Eternal Father, let it be that what is pleasing to you, pleases me.” Or, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” When you have said this with Jesus Christ, breathe out and die in Christ the mystical death of holy and pure love. Then rise with Christ to a new godlike life and live a life entirely of holy love in the purest love of the great King of Hearts and Holy Love..." ~Paul of the Cross to Anna Maria Calgagnini (Calcagnini's 16th letter on December 12, 1769 in Vol. 3 on Page 540 for Paul's Letter 1858)
