“Love consumes its object; we consume Jesus and Jesus consumes us. Enthralled, we move inwardly towards love, we approach God, towards His Spirit, which is His love, and this love consumes us, devours us, and draws us to unity, where bliss awaits us” (Ruysbroec). This is what Jesus Christ meant when He said: “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover lamb with you…”
(Elizabeth of the Trinity, Heaven in Faith 18)
