Paul of the Cross on Jesus is holding you...

"...By means of your suffering you are... becoming ... transformed into God out of charity and love..."

 

We ought not glory in anything except the Cross of our Savior Jesus Christ. You are happy and do not know it. Jesus is holding you crucified with himself. Now the work begun in you is being brought to perfection. Oh, what a noble work God is doing in your soul! By means of your suffering you are purified of imperfections you are unaware of, and your soul is becoming like a crystal, in which the light of the Divine Sun shines. You will come out all transformed into God out of charity and love. So, my daughter and sister in Christ, rest in peace on that cross, take your sleep there in a sleep of faith and love in the Heart of Jesus Crucified. suffer, be silent, and sing in spirit: “I will glory in nothing but in the cross of my dear Savior.” ~Paul of the Cross to Lucy Burlini (Burlini's 2nd letter on August 9, 1749 in Vol. 2 on Page 179 for Paul's Letter 662)
