 Him, too,  in  order  to  serve  Him  and  to  love Him!

To conclude:  St.  Teresa  says,  that  holy  souls  in this  world  have  to  conform  themselves  by  love  to what  the  souls  of  the  blessed  do  in  heaven. As the saints in  heaven  occupy  themselves  only  with  God, and have  no  other  thought  or  joy  than  in  His  glory and in  His  love,  so  also  must  this  be  the  case  with thee. While thou  art  in  this  world,  let  God  be  thy only happiness,  the  only  object  of  thy  affections,  the only end  of  all  thy  actions  and  desires,  until  thou comest to  that  eternal  kingdom,  where  thy  love shall be  in  all  things  perfected  and  completed,  and thy desires  shall  be  perfectly  fulfilled  and  satisfied.
