-Scripture-Thank you, Kathleen
Psalm 36:10
“For with you is the fountain of life, and in your light we see light.”
-Quote of a Carmelite Saint-St. Therese of Lisieux-For the 150th anniversary of the birth of St.Therese Advent with St. Therese of Lisieux-Susan Hines-Brigger, Franciscan media (adapted for the current liturgical season). Thank you, Carmelite Nuns.
“A mistress at the Abbey asked me once what I did on holidays, when I stayed at home. I answered timidly: ‘I often hide myself in a corner of my room where I can shut myself in with the bed curtains, and then I think.’ ‘But what do you think about? Said the good nun, laughing. ‘I think about the Good God, about the shortness of life, and about eternity: in a word, I think.’”
Prayer:
“St. Therese, be a model for us to take time each day to slow down, embrace the silence, and reflect on our lives. In that silence, let us find peace from external and internal noise and just sit with Christ and his message.”

Within you dwells your God.
Enter within.

Talk to Him.
Listen to Him.
Stay with Him in your heart.
