Carmelite wisdom to encourage & inspire
Father François de Sainte-Marie, OCD was the gifted editor of the autobiographical manuscripts of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, published in 1957. We recall his birth to eternal life or 'dies natalis' on this date in 1961, when he drowned in the Loire river.
Well-known Carmelite author Ruth Burrows (Sr. Rachel Gregory, OCD) uses the story of Martha and Mary to explain who is really doing the serving and feeding during prayer. When Jesus enters our home, he serves and nourishes us, not the other way around.
Christ is little known by those who consider themselves his friends
This indwelling of God in the soul of the just explains to us the extraordinary deeds in the lives of the saints
"With her help, I have been able to build up my interior life."
We see that Christ was always subject to authority of every sort
Have a habitual desire to imitate Christ in all your deeds
To be a disciple of Jesus means to take up the cross and follow him
Love, forgetful of its own dignity, is eager to raise and magnify the beloved
God seemed so present to me that I thought of St. Peter's words: You are Christ, Son of the living God
Carmelites have chosen Mary as their Patroness and spiritual Mother
God was so silent that St. Paul reproved Peter
The breath of the Holy Spirit is too delicate to be exposed to noise or exterior agitation
The road leading to God demands only true self-denial
She became a living icon of God who shows his power in mercy
My steps surprised a dark Iscariot plotting in my own will
Behold these wounds, for your sufferings have never reached this point.
In the silence of prayer, let us listen to Him, for He is the “Source”
His life was distinguished by zeal and devotion

Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices. ~ St. Teresa of Avila
