Carmelite wisdom to encourage & inspire
In a letter written for Céline's 22nd birthday, St. Thérèse explains why God didn't create her sister to be an angel in heaven: "it is because He wants you to be an angel on earth... He wants angel-apostles, and He has created an unknown little flower, who is named Céline, with this intention in mind...."
On the evening of Love, speaking without parable, Jesus said: "If anyone wishes to love me All his life, let him keep my Word.
Don’t think that when I’m in Heaven I’ll make your life easy
What do death and life mean to me? Jesus, my joy is to love you!
My only joy on this earth is to be able to make you rejoice
If sometimes I shed tears my joy is to hide them well
My joy is to remain little So when I fall down along the way I can get up very quickly
My joy, it's the Holy Will of Jesus my only love
My joy is to love suffering, I gratefully accept the thorns mixed in with the flowers
Joy is in my heart... This joy isn't fleeting... I possess it without return
He knows that even though I don’t have the joy of the Faith, I try at least to do its work
A novena based on Poem 45, "My Joy!" written by St. Thérèse for her sister Pauline's feast day, 21 January 1897
It was night! The dark night of the soul! I felt I was all alone in the garden of Gethsemane
Remembrance of 1st communion to my dear little Céline
The day chosen for First Communion was (...) May 8.
Hide well the poor lamb under your mantle
She became a living icon of God who shows his power in mercy
It seems to me that humility is truth.
Oh, yes, Sister, “Let's live in love.”
May I never lose the second robe of my Baptism!

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
