The interior thoughts of Mother Marie Madeleine Ponnet on LOVE give us an opportunity to contemplate the depths of this holiest of virtues during Lent.
“In heaven one loves without interruption. I begged the Holy Spirit to teach me the most perfect act of love, and I seemed to hear that the highest state of love is that in which God is seen in all things “My God, my one and my everything, you are everything to me and I am all for you “(St. Margaret Mary Alacoque)
O infinite charity of my God, fill, invade our hearts! I can not say this without interruption: everything is in this and that is enough, for everything and love.
My adorable Jesus, my God and my all, I have an immense need, I have the passion to love you so much to make up, with my love, for that of the whole world.
My pain, O God, is to think that you are not absolutely free in me. My heaven would be to see all the parts of my being absorbed by my God; my heaven will be the absolute reign of his will, of his pleasure. My heaven is to love him and to see him loved.”
