Carmelite wisdom to encourage & inspire
Today we recall Blessed Maria Candida of the Eucharist, whose Optional Memorial is celebrated in Italy. In the Office of Readings we find this excerpt: "What mystery of love is this intimacy with our Beloved! I reflect on this, sometimes with emotion, and give praise to Him Who is Love!"
The Servant of God Père Jacques de Jésus offers a reflection on John 19:27, "This is your mother". Père Jacques writes, "While the other apostles traveled across the then known world on their missionary journeys, John’s unique apostolate was to remain close to the Virgin Mary, whom Christ had entrusted to him."
The house of Bethany was the delight of Jesus when He was on earth; ; it was His favorite dwelling. There He was intimately known by Lazarus, served by Martha and madly loved by Mary.
I want to send you a little note from my soul for I am anxious for you to know that in the Father’s House I will pray especially for you.
The house of Bethany was the delight of Jesus when He was on earth... The Carmelite being close to Jesus reproduces that intimate life now...

Carmelites have chosen Mary as their Patroness and spiritual Mother

The “Spirit of truth” whispers Jesus’ words to our hearts
They tarried long in the solitude of the desert
I dwell with Jesus Christ, the same dwelling shelters us!
I do not fear my weakness; that's what gives me confidence
Mental prayer is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends
The more intense this intimate life is, the more we will be Carmelites
What is a person to do with his desire to be with the Lord?
“It is this intimacy with Him “within” that has been the beautiful sun illuminating my life, making it already an anticipated Heaven; it is what sustains me today in my suffering.”

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
