“Silence is precious; by keeping silence and knowing how to listen to God, the soul grows in wisdom and God teaches it what it cannot learn from men.”
Blessed Anne of St. Bartholomew 
“Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us.” St. Teresa of Jesus-The Book of Her Life
St. Teresa’s Bookmark
Let nothing disturb you;
Let nothing frighten you.
All things are passing.
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
Nothing is wanting to him who possesses God.
God alone suffices.
This was found on a prayer card in St. Teresa’s breviary.
St Teresa “introduced something new within the Church, the life of prayer as service.” St. Teresa of Jesus-The Book of Her Foundations

Prayer for Vocations-St. Therese of the Child Jesus (Lisieux)
St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, patroness of our province, when you entered Carmel, answering the deepest desire the Lord had planted in your heart, you said “now I am here forever.” We ask you to please send us from heaven the roses in bloom of new vocations for many priests and nuns (and seculars) to discern to live like you forever as Discalced Carmelites.
