Carmelite wisdom to encourage & inspire
Father François de Sainte-Marie, OCD was the gifted editor of the autobiographical manuscripts of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, published in 1957. We recall his birth to eternal life or 'dies natalis' on this date in 1961, when he drowned in the Loire river.
Life is so short! What happiness it is to think of that, to tell ourselves that tomorrow we shall be in Heaven, near Jesus Who loved us enough to die for us, near Mary who loved us...
"With her help, I have been able to build up my interior life."
Oh! I would like to sing, Mary, why I love you, Why your sweet name thrills my heart
Carmelites have chosen Mary as their Patroness and spiritual Mother
Sinners like me can find in you a protecting Mother
Yes, Mother, you are the celestial Madonna who guides us
Yes, Mary, you are the Mother of the entire universe
Who will not find balm for his pains by considering the torments of Jesus and Mary?
Carmel finds in Mary the fullness of the spirit that is its own
This Offering is central within the doctrine of Thérèse
Mary’s sisterhood is an insight that can be shared with the wider Church
Mary rejoices because she is the bearer of Emmanuel, of ‘God with us’
The house of Saint John becomes your only refuge
England, the birthplace of the devotion of the Scapular
She is your good and loving mother
I saw the tears upon the Virgin's face
Joseph is not ashamed, he doesn’t belittle Mary
O Lourdes, miraculous land, a foretaste of the Eternal Home,
The little one who was there under Mary’s eyes was continuing the act of creating the world

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
