Jesus asks us to grow more and more simple so that there remains in our souls nothing but awareness of our weakness and a corresponding trust in God our Father. This is the source of peace.

I get this!!! I feel more and more like this these days. By the way, my former President responded to yesterday’s comments to you I copied to her, by accepting me, and trying to accommodate me in a Carmelite prayer group of mixed OCDS and non OCDS.

You see? Carmelite spirituality is so great that it cannot be contained within 4 square walls…
