"When she [Mother Cabrini] went to the chapel ...her whole attitude ...revealed that she was completely immersed in the Divine Presence.
One day, during the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, a Sister brought her a telegram. Observing that Mother made no response, the Sister put the telegram on the prie-dieu. Then, perceiving that Mother still did not move, the Sister looked into her face. She saw there a seraphic expression, the eyes openly fixed upon the Sacred Heart; but Mother was not able to see nor hear anything that was going on around her."

"The more I love You, the less I love You,
because I would like to love You more, but I cannot.
Oh, enlarge, enlarge my heart." ~ St Frances Cabrini
