OUR GOD CLOSE TO US
The life of prayer will be that which will bring us inside the Divine Bosom, wherein we will grasp the eternal utterance of God in our innermost self, since prayer is the appointment God keeps with the soul.

Hours of Tabernacle, moments of silence, faint melodies in tender longing that invites us to adore.... God, who is so close that, when the soul is able to remain in silence, there it can feel the heartbeat of its own breathing.... Hours of Tabernacle... hours of mystery... moments that are tokens spent in happiness...; colloquies of Heaven, where man lives, in pilgrimage, sublime moments in the Immensity....
Whoever you may be, the thirstiest for happiness and for fullness, the hungriest to discover and to investigate, unless you go inside and you come outside, you will always remain without knowing the reason for being of the One who Is Himself and of the things that through Him are.
Oh human nature of Jesus...! The Word of Life has been so intimately and closely united to you, and you to Him, in an adaptation as though infinite, that his most imperceptible vibrations reverberate in you; as it is your life and not being able to be other than that of the very most high God himself, since you have united yourself hypostatically with God in the Person of the Word.
A talk from MOTHER TRINIDAD DE LA SANTA MADRE IGLESIA, given on the 25th of December, 1965. Title: CHRISTMAS
Mystery of Christmas…! Secret of infinite tenderness…!: In the silence of night and of incomprehension, under the vibrant notes of the Holy Spirit, and in the tearing of the motherhood of Mary, in a manger the Love was revealed to us…!! Silence, dear soul…! Respect and veneration! Adore…! With the Angels of God, respond with love…! Because God, become Child, any minute now is going to burst into tears for the first time on earth torn apart by solitude and incomprehension…
What spring of graces, of gifts, of fruits and of riches the Father has contained in the volcano of His bosom, waiting for our simple, warm and intimate prayer, to pour out in fruits of eternal life! How great, how omnipotent, how powerful a man is praying at the foot of the Tabernacle! So much so, that before him Heaven opens up to lavish its supernatural riches on humanity.
To listen to You… to receive You… To get into Your hurt chest and to know that You are wounded in love, for loving me so much; and that You conceal in Your hours of silence, cloistered behind the doors of the tabernacle, the agonizing mystery of pierced heart, choked by Your grieves of pent up wails.
Thus, any moment of our life, out of love for God, wherever we may be, if we try to do His will, by doing with our greatest love those things that have been entrusted to us, then we are living by the divine will. And, given that in God His will is identified with His Unitarian and Trinitarian life, we are living of the Trinity and perhaps we have not realised this and are unconsciously doing so
You are so blissful… so much… so much… so much! that You will make our most essential joy consist in rejoicing in the fact that You are so happy; since You exceed, due to the contemplation of your eternal jubilation, the capacities of all the rational creatures in such a way, that they will have their essential joy in seeing You so happy; because there they will be in the centre of the pure love and in the complete fitting-in of that same love.
