Carmelite QuotesQuote of the day, 26 March: Saint Zélie Martin
As for me, I’m not so strong. For two weeks straight, I’ve had a fever. Thursday night I was so sick that I thought I was finished. I thought I had the same illness as my little Hélène.
As for me, I’m not confined to my bed, but I’m not doing well at all. I often have a fever, or, more accurately, I have a fever every day. I’m not suffering very much, but I have a constant headache and a general weakness. I have no more energy. I have no stamina for work, and I don’t have the heart for it.
Sometimes I imagine that I’ll go away as gently as my little Hélène. I assure you that I barely care for my own life. Ever since I lost this child, I feel a burning desire to see her again. However, those that remain need me, and, because of them, I ask God to leave me on this earth a few more years.
Saint Zélie Martin

de.hypothesesHow do you mourn when the words for #grief have been stolen? Following the January 2026 massacres in #Iran, people protested by reinvented mourning in the city of #Karlaba. Mina Khanlarzadeh explores how grief finds new language when the old is poisoned by #stateviolence:
The Morgue Is Karbala, Mourning in Each Other’s Skin. Part I: The Lexicon in Exile
In the first part of her contribution, Mina Khanlarzadeh examines the Karbala narrative— the Shiʿi story of Hossein’s martyrdom, which for decades served as a public grammar for naming injustice in Iranian political culture.
