Despite being an atheist, I sometimes admire catholics for having a good taste for finding nice spots for their churches :)

This one I especially like for being surrounded by nature and almost never seeing anyone around.

Quote of the day, 16 March: St. Teresa of the Andes

The Carmelite must ascend the Tabor of Carmel and be clothed with the garments of penance that will make her more like Jesus. And, as He, she wants to be transformed, to be transfigured in order to be converted into God.

The Carmelite must ascend Calvary. There she will immolate herself for souls. Love crucifies her; she dies to herself and to the world. She is buried, and her tomb is the Heart of Jesus; and from there she rises, is reborn to a new life and spiritually lives united to the whole world.

💜 Transformation comes through surrender. How is Christ calling you to be transfigured today?

🇮🇪 Brendan Gleeson – Calvary (John Michael McDonagh, 2014)

“In my own flesh I fill up what is lacking in the passion of Christ for the sake of His body, which is the Church” [Col 1:24]. The apostle finds his happiness in this!

The thought pursues me and I confess that I experience a profound inner joy in thinking that God has chosen to associate me in the passion of His Christ. This way of Calvary I climb each day seems to me more like the path of Beatitude!

Have you ever seen those pictures depicting death reaping with his sickle? Well, that is my condition; I seem to feel myself being destroyed like that. Sometimes it is painful for nature and I can assure you that if I were to remain at that level, I would feel only my cowardice in the face of suffering. But that is looking at things from the human point of view!

Very quickly “I open the eye of my soul in the light of faith” [cf. St. Catherine of Siena]. And this faith tells me that it is love who is destroying me, who is slowly consuming me; then I feel a tremendous joy, and I surrender myself to Him as His prey [cf. her prayer to the Holy Trinity, “I surrender myself to you as your prey”].

Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity

The Greatness of our Vocation, 8
Letter 310 to Françoise de Sourdon
About 9 September 1906

Note: At the end of the letter, Elizabeth writes: I wonder what our Reverend Mother is going to think when she sees this journal. She does not let me write anymore because I am extremely weak, and I feel as if I would faint at any moment. This will probably be the last letter from your Sabeth; it has taken her many days to write, and that explains its incoherence. And yet this evening I cannot bring myself to leave you. I am in solitude; it is seven-thirty, and the community is at recreation. As for me, I feel already as if I were almost in Heaven here in my little cell, alone with Him alone, bearing my cross with my Master. Framboise, my happiness increases along with my suffering! If you only knew how delicious the dregs are at the bottom of the chalice prepared by my Heavenly Father! A Dieu, beloved Framboise; I cannot go on. And in the silence of our rendezvous you will guess, you will understand, what I do not tell you. I send you a kiss. I love you as a mother loves her little child. A Dieu my little one. In the shadow of His wings may He guard you from all evil. [Ps 91:4]. Indeed, this was the last letter Elizabeth wrote to her young friend, Françoise.
