Carmelite Quotes Apr 26

Quote of the day, 27 April: St. Mary Magdalen de’ Pazzi

Please do not wish—please do not wish—to become greater than Christ, your Head, who said that the disciple must not be greater than the master, nor the servant greater than the lord [Mt 10:24]. Remember also what the enamored Paul said: that we are not debtors to the flesh, but to the Spirit, and that we ought to live according to the Spirit, because he who lives according to the flesh dies [Rom 8:12]. Please look to the Spirit to whom we are debtors!

We are debtors, then; but what is that debt? First, to give ourselves to God; and then, according to our powers, to lead our neighbor to Him. He has given Himself to us and has given all His blood in order to redeem us. What else, then, must the creature do, who is debtor to this blood, but restore souls redeemed by this blood?

Please note—please note—that I say God has given His only-begotten Son, and the Only-Begotten has given all His blood for creatures! How can those who receive this blood, and can give it to others, act in such a way that they do not bring to God the souls redeemed by this blood? How can they bear to see a soul adorned with the blood of God go into hell and be deprived of that same God?

I do not doubt at all that if you will be completely despoiled of yourselves and put on sweet Truth, you will follow in His footsteps, which were made only—only—to bring back the one lost sheep and to place it… where, my God, where, my God? On His own shoulders! So also must you take the lost sheep of so many souls and place it on your own shoulders.

And how are you to place it there? By accepting your labors and nourishing yourselves on them; further, by nourishing your sheep with your own labors—I mean, with the word of God and the example of your life. And if you have this desire—as I want to presume you have—to reunite His consecrated christs, especially those gathered in religious families, and also to reunite His disunited spouses, and if you desire to make them observe their vows and despoil themselves of everything that is under God, it is imperative that you despoil yourselves first, inasmuch as example moves more than words. For, as the First Truth, the Word made flesh, said, it is not enough to say “Lord, Lord!” [Mt 7:21]. No, it is not enough!

Oh, grow in love a little; and come, in thirst, in zeal, and in desire, to bring back these sheep—these souls redeemed by the precious blood of the slain Lamb—and to reunite these members to their Head, Christ, so that they can sing with David: “The children of your servants shall sit upon your throne!” [Ps 131:12].

We're home, in one piece. I put in $40 into a slot machine and came home with $0.17. I perhaps drank too much. Husband drove. The photo attached is #LambOfGod onstage. Fun night. Metalheads are the best people. Seriously. The Best. It was loud & rowdy. #metal #music
