Carmelite wisdom to encourage & inspire
In June 1944, Mother Agnès of Jesus was ready to sacrifice the Carmel of Lisieux to God if he wanted it. The obituary circular notice written by her nuns for the other Carmels in France testified to her valiant spirit. The nuns were terrified, while she remained calm. Read an excerpt from this circular letter.
After the healing of St. Thérèse on 13 May, her sister Pauline wrote to Thérèse to offer words of gratitude, compassion, and encouragement. "What a joy to see you well! How good the Blessed Virgin really is!"
I was delighted to hear that today all three of you are in the little House of the Blessed Virgin [At Loreto, on 12th–13th November 1887]… One must no longer feel outside one’s Homeland there. It’s the Homeland in exile.
Jesus will give Himself to you as a tiny Child because you are still so small
Littleness, the spirit of childhood, humility. Let us ask just for these virtues at Jesus' crib
"Oh! I would not want to suffer for a shorter time!"
Don’t think that when I’m in Heaven I’ll make your life easy
How do I die? I will never know how to die!
Earthly air is missing, when will the good Lord give me heavenly air?
I like Lourdes water better, it's more pious
See, that's an image of me, my life is hanging on by a tiny thread.
A little victim of love can't think that what her Spouse sends her out of love is awful
What a grace to have faith! If I didn't have faith, I would have killed myself...
The elevator that should lift me up without fatigue
if we beg the grace to be profoundly humble
Did the Blessed Virgin lead a complicated life?
The Blessed Virgin keeps us together under her mantle
How easy it is to be a saint!
Obedience can, if you wish it, become what wings are to a bird
Jesus in the Host wants to find Heaven in your childlike heart

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
