St. John of the Cross:
"Silence is God's first language."
"In tribulations immediately draw near God with confidence, and you will receive strength, enlightenment, and instruction".

The Carmelite families have generated hosts of amazing saints, blessed, venerables etc., each one different from the other and yet deeply imbued with Carmelite spirituality. Four doctors of the Church: St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) and our beloved St. Therese of Lisieux. Let us remember, among many, also St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, St. Teresa of Los Andes, St. Mary of Jesus Crucified (Mariam Baouardy), … reading their writings or knowing their lives can help us to enter into a truer and deeper relationship with God

I have so much problems I need time for retreat, loosing my mom at 89 and I live with her…I need to forgive myself because but how

[@ledadicamilo1706]

Nobody truly can love God and money! All these horrible tortures was for the love of money surely was not for the love of Our Lord Jesus. Back then, nobility and wealthy people always placed their relatives in the church and not all priest had a true love if God, sadly!

[@grantsmythe8625]

I'm not sure that money can be loved in the same way we can love another person or Nature or music. Perhaps money can only be lusted after.

Why don't you set every thing up first before you go live

St. John of the Cross was a poet. His prison cell in Toledo iscstill there.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

This really makes me cry.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Yes when it is not clear to our own thinking either.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Goodness what a great man. Can relate to a twisting path.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Bless him.
