I continue reading The Life of Anne Catherine Emmerich. Her charity, humility, obedience, and willingness to suffer are truly remarkable. She was favored with visions in her ecstasies. Here's a short one that's both meaningful and interesting.
Her angel led her across a narrow bridge safely and she saw on the bank a mousetrap around which a little mouse kept running and running, and at last slipped in to get the bait. Anne cried out, "You are sacrificing your liberty, your life for a mouthful!" ~ "Are men more reasonable," asked her angel, "when for a momentary gratification they endanger their soul's salvation?"
