Surrexit Dominus Vere, Alléluia...

"God is free from all save His love." This phrase, which I believe is by Msgr. Gay, gives much to my soul, particularly at this time of the Resurrection, when Christ, the victor over death, wants to remain our captive. And it seems to me this is how we can rise with Him: by walking through life "free from all save our love," our soul and heart fixed on God, repeating those words that Saint Catherine of Siena loved to say in the silence of her soul: "I am sought, I am loved." This is what is true, all the rest is not. Oh! How good it would be, as you say, to live by this life of the Trinity that Jesus Christ came to bring us. He said so often that He was the Life, and that He came to give it to us in abundance. "He has taken all in God to Himself to become the source for all, "as Pere Vallee said to us one day in his strong language; then he added that all those who came close to Him had an "awareness of the vision He carried in His soul." Since He still lives, why shouldn't we ask Him for the definitive light, that light of faith that makes saints... (Letter 199) http://www.elisabeth-dijon.org/paroles/Meditation.htm#anglais
