“Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done unto me
according to your word.”
Our Lady, Queen of Mount Carmel
“I made the resolution never to consider whether the
things commanded me appeared useful or not.... it is
love alone that counts. Forget about whether something
is needed or useful; see it (the demand, rule, obligation,
etc.) as a whim of Jesus.”
St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face
It is not so essential to think much as to love much.
St. Teresa of Jesus
Mine are the heavens and mine is the earth; mine are
the people, the righteous are mine and mine are the sinners;
the angels are mine and the Mother of God, and
all things are mine; and God Himself is mine and for
me, for Christ is mine and all for me. What then do you
ask for and seek, my soul? Yours is all this, and it is all
for you.
St. John of the Cross (Prayer of a Soul Taken in Love)
How happy I am to see myself imperfect and be in
need of God's mercy.
St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face
The more lofty the degree of loving union to which
God destines the soul, so much more profound and
persistent must be its purification.
St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)
To be taken with love for a soul, God does not look on
its greatness, but the greatness of its humility.
St. John of the Cross
Always remember to love your neighbor; always prefer
the one who tries your patience, who tests your virtue,
because with her you can always merit: suffering is
Love; the Law is Love.
Bl. Mary of Jesus Crucified “The Little Arab”
