What is interior spirit?
It is the entire sacrifice of ourselves by the mortification of the senses,
by the immolation of our passions,
by the ceaselessly renewed recollection of the presence. . .
Interior spirit is, then, that intimate union of our soul with God . . .
that immediate dependence upon the grace of God,
upon the touch of the Holy Spirit.
This way of ways, this way par excellence, is interior spirit,
that spirit that gives life and fruitfulness to everything.
It is interior spirit that makes us another Jesus Christ. ..
This interior spirit must be the breath of our soul, the soul of our soul.
St. Madeline Sophie Barat
