Teresa de los Andes Letter 111 – God who is Love

Teresa de los Andes111 Letter to her Aunt Juana Solar De Dominguez June 23, 1919

    ”What shall I tell you of my heavenly life?  Every day I thank God more for my vocation; which, the more I delve into it, the more beautiful it becomes to me.  If I could let you experience the happiness felt when one has no other task in this life than loving and contemplating.  When the soul is engulfed in the ocean of Divinity, it loses sight of the world’s shores, of that world that is homeland of sorrow and evil!  How happy I am living as a prisoner of the Divine Prisoner, consoling Him with my tears, helping Him save souls, praying and suffering!  I’ve begun my eternity already.  I have everything.  The only thing I lack is to see God face to face.
 
Let us love Him greatly.  He thirsts for our love, because the angels’ love isn’t enough for Him.  And after giving us His Father and His Divinity, Jesus gave us His Mother.  He suffered from Bethlehem to Calvary.  Shouldn’t we have a little bit of love for this Divine Beggar…?  May everything we do be done for loves’ sake, and let’s live forever at the foot of the tabernacle, be it only in spirit, consoling Our Lord in His agony.  I’ll say more:  live in the Heart of Jesus.  There, united with Jesus prayer, love and praise offer your works, both perfect and imperfect, to the Most Blessed Trinity.  May your soul, be a host of praise and a host of love, sacrificing itself perpetually for the glory of the most Holy Trinity to make known the infinite love and mercy of the God who is Love.”
