Carmelite wisdom to encourage & inspire
Bishop Silvio José Báez mentions one of the greatest temptations of the Church: "to forget about the Holy Spirit, not to listen to the Spirit, and not to let ourselves be guided and strengthened by the Spirit."
Safe sped I through that night, By the secret stair, disguised and unseen, -O moment of delight!- Wrapt in that night serene, New-hush'd to rest the house where I had been.
We can understand that the very loving light and wisdom into which the soul will be transformed is what in the beginning purges and prepares it, just as the fire that transforms the wood
The same difference lying between a habit and an act lies between the transformation in love and the flame of love.
A soul enkindled with love is a gentle, meek, humble, and patient soul
St Teresa felt God tearing out her insides and burning her heart with the fire of Love
A visible sensory image of the glowing love that pierced her heart
ZELO ZELATUS SUM PRO DOMINO DEO EXERCITUUM: I have been most zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts
We are a branch on the vine
St. Joseph was a person of unshakable faith and ardent love
I am keeping a rendez-vous with you in the Furnace of love
The worst was that interior fire and despair
The Lord wanted me to see the place the devils had prepared there for me
What I need is the fire of love
A visible sensory image of the glowing love that pierced her heart
ZELO ZELATUS SUM PRO DOMINO DEO EXERCITUUM
Oh! but, the Blessed Virgin was the strong woman
Grant, that our love
may never be small,
but always most ardent,
like a great fire
that cannot but
shine brightly.
She had Heaven within her
O Consuming Fire, Spirit of Love, descend into my soul and make all in me as an incarnation of the Word, that I may be to him a super-added humanity wherein he renews his mystery Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity

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
