Imitate God. Remember God is all good, and don’t let yourself indulge in
pride, envy, schisms, and other sins that fight against the spirit. These lead
to decadence. Instead, be like newborn babies. Be people of integrity. Never be
duplicitous. Why? Remember that the Lord said in Leviticus to His loyal friends
that they were to be holy because He was holy. The Lord has blessed you for
many years. He’s shown you treasure hidden in a field, and you’ve enjoyed it
for such a long time. With your joy you bought God’s priceless treasure, the
best pearls and gems. Remember that—without a doubt—if you respect these jewels
as you should, they’ll always stand before the face of God, praying for you and
begging for the salvation of your body and soul.
Elisabeth of Schönau
(1129-1165)
