Carmelite wisdom to encourage & inspire
Bishop Silvio José Báez, who is himself a Discalced Carmelite, describes the essential aspects of St. Teresa's encounter with the angel and his fiery dart: "God introduced her to the New Covenant."
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.
O my Lord, what do I have except what you have given me? You are the source of goodness and bliss.
Jesus told me that He wants me to suffer with joy. This costs me so, but it is sufficient that He asks this, so that I'll try to do it.
A novena based on Poem 45, "My Joy!" written by St. Thérèse for her sister Pauline's feast day, 21 January 1897
St Teresa felt God tearing out her insides and burning her heart with the fire of Love
A glass of water may seem like a small thing, but love makes it great
She is another Mary Magdalene whom nothing must distract from the One
Contemplation is a precious gift of God.
With Joseph, justice means humanity
Give yourself to God!

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
