Carmelite wisdom to encourage & inspire
In 1921 Pauline and Marie Martin - Sister Agnès of Jesus and Sr. Marie of the Sacred Heart - had the happy fortune to visit their childhood home in Lisieux, a rare privilege, although Pauline doesn't give the reasons for the honor. But she describes the visit in detail...
When St. Thérèse was still an infant on the farm with her wet nurse Rose, St. Zélie Martin describes one visit she made to the farm to visit little Thérèse. "She let out piercing screams when she didn't see the wet nurse anymore."
Céline tells us that Thérèse "received an audience with the Holy Father on Sunday 20th November 1887 with the pilgrims of the dioceses of Coutances, Bayeux, and Nantes"
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.
Compared to the hell of the ships, the island seemed a veritable paradise
Elijah, the prophets and conversion of heart: Elijah is the "father" of the prophets
Carmelites have chosen Mary as their Patroness and spiritual Mother
Holy Virgin you have done me a great favor
M. Révérony was touched, I believe
In my own words I wanted to pay a tribute of gratitude to Saint John of the Cross
Whose greatest stamp of glory was to be forever the daughter of the Church
Compared to the hell of the ships, the island seemed a veritable paradise
Up at 6.30 and on the road at 7.15
Arrived in the small town of Castrojeriz yesterday
Permit me also to invoke the little Carmelite, St. Thérèse
Pray a lot, my dear little girl, for the success of the pilgrimage to Chartres
We are strangers and the door will open for no one but us

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
