In her inner life sister Emanuela was elevated to the highest states of the union of love, going from the stage of being drawn by love to a mystical marriage, in which she experienced the union with God and an exchange of spiritual gifts. The union of love included a dimension of will ready to obey all instructions given by her Beloved, even to accept suffering and death with Him on the Cross. It was also the light of mind, which through general notions approaches understanding of the mystery of the Trinity – God's life, which is love. From this experience of a complete union with God in love a desire was bom to act for Christ, which found a special expression in making a life sacrifice to bring the sons of Jacob to Christ and offering her life for priests.
