Carmelite wisdom to encourage & inspire
"To have had virtuous and God-fearing parents along with the graces the Lord granted me should have been enough for me to have led a good life, if I had not been so wretched." Today we celebrate the birth of St. Teresa of Jesus, born 28 March 1515 in Avila.
The chief among Teresa’s virtues was the love of God, which our Lord Jesus Christ increased by means of many visions and revelations. She not only submitted all her exterior actions to the judgment of her superiors with the greatest humility of spirit but also all her thoughts.
On 16 February 1578 Saint Teresa wrote to Father Gracián about her arm, which she broke in a fall on Christmas Eve: "It is still swollen, as is also my hand, and covered with plaster..."
"I remember that when my mother died I was twelve years old or a little less." Doña Beatriz Ahumada made her last will and testament on 24 November 1528.

He does a good deal by leaving us in mental prayer
The Lord gives when He desires, as He desires, and to whom He desires
Indeed, Jesus could have put other virtues first... He said only, "forgive us because we forgive."
This is the trait of humble people: They do not dare deal with God independently
If you desire to discover peace and consolation for your soul and to serve God truly, do not find your satisfaction in what you have left behind
A visible sensory image of the glowing love that pierced her heart
On St. Bartholomew's day the habit was received by some and the Blessed Sacrament was reserved

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
