Carmelite Quote

St. Teresa Margaret Redi
of the Sacred Heart

If one is habitually watchful during the day, could not the act of love in which one lives, endure even in sleep? Is not that what  the Spouse in the Canticles  intended when she says," I sleep, but my heart watches?"

Very well, I want to act for God, to live in his love so uninterruptedly that the habit dominates me completely and so thoroughly that I no longer perceive it and can continue to love God and give myself to Him even while my body sleeps.

Peace be with you!
