Scripture: Contributed by Kathleen-Thank you, Kathleen K
Galatians 5:16-17
Live by the spirit, and you will certainly not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you want.
-Quote of a Carmelite Saint-St. Therese of Lisieux-For the 150th anniversary of the birth of St.Therese
Excerpts from Advent with St. Therese of Lisieux-Susan Hines-Brigger, Franciscan media(on the table at the monastery)adapted for the current liturgical season. Thank you, Carmelite Nuns.
“If I did not simply live from one moment to another, it would be impossible for me to be patient, but I only look at the present, I forget the past, and I take good care not to forestall the future.” St Therese of Lisieux
Prayer:
St. Therese, may your example help us remember we are in Christ’s presence today. Let us lovingly embrace Him and all His blessings.

“It is our holy duty to be as conscientious as possible in observing the precept of enclosure, to lead without hindrance a life hidden with Christ in God.”
