Carmelite wisdom to encourage & inspire
Happy Birthday to Blessed Titus Brandsma! From his article on Mary's motherhood of God: "In his Explanation of “The Living Flame of Love”, St. John of the Cross draws the Holy Mother of God as clearly as possible into the circle of his metaphor clarifying the mystical life...."
A soul enkindled with love is a gentle, meek, humble, and patient soul
May the power of your love fill our hearts also and stir us to ever more generous efforts in your service
Who would not cry in your arms without instantly receiving your immaculate kiss of love and comfort?
He who overshadows him is now near to befriend and protect him
The soul is converted into the immense fire of love
The soul here cannot comprehend God perfectly
“Janua coeli,” will lead me into the heavenly courts
16th c. Spanish co-founder of the Discalced Carmelite friars
an awakening of God in the soul, the breathing of God within it
October 4, 1906, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity receives a new, lighter-weight, warmer habit.
Grant, that our love
may never be small,
but always most ardent,
like a great fire
that cannot but
shine brightly.
"O happy wound, wrought by one who knows only how to heal! O fortunate and choicest wound; you were made only for delight, and the quality of your affliction is delight and gratification for the wounded soul!"
She had Heaven within her
