St. Clare on the Resurrection

Happy the soul to whom it is given to attain this life with Christ, to cleave with all one's heart to him whose beauty all the heavenly hosts behold forever, whose love enflames our love, whose contemplation is our refreshment, whose graciousness is our delight, whose gentleness fills us to overflowing, whose remembrance gives sweet light, whose fragrance revives the dead, whose glorious vision will be the happiness of the citizens of the heavenly Jerusalem. For he is the brightness of eternal glory, he splendour of eternal light, the mirror without spot. - St. Clare of Assisi
