Carmelite wisdom to encourage & inspire
Today St. Edith Stein shares with a close friend that Edith realized religious life isn't a matter of naval-gazing but rather an imperative "to carry the divine life" into the world. And the "the deeper one is drawn into God", the greater is this mandate.
"The soul must practice the following instructions if it wishes to attain in a short time holy recollection and spiritual silence, nakedness, and poverty of spirit, where one enjoys the peaceful comfort of the Holy Spirit," writes St John of the Cross in the introduction to The Precautions.
A soul depends on grace in proportion to its desire for greater perfection. God's help is necessary at every moment because, without it, the soul can do nothing.
I have the vocation to be an Apostle... I would like to travel all over the world to preach your name and plant your glorious Cross on the soil of the unbelievers
This indwelling of God in the soul of the just explains to us the extraordinary deeds in the lives of the saints
No Caesar of this world can demand that which belongs to God.
The good spirit is born only of the Spirit of God
Keep aspiring to that peace which awaits us in the arms of God
Without the Eucharist we’d have nothing to say to the world
More than ever the cross is a sign of contradiction
The mother must keep pure the atmosphere in which the child is living
The kingdom of light from the kingdom of night
As clay is in the potter's hand, so you are in mine, House of Israel... beyond the historizal hazards and human will stands God

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
