                       _______________Psalm 31:24_

Be 

strong 

and let 

your 

heart 

take 

courage, 

all you 

who wait for the Lord.

* John of the Cross, 1542-1591,

mystic, preist and friar. 

“An instant of pure love is more precious in the yes of God… and more profit-able in the church than all other works together, though it may seems as if nothing were done.”   -  Juan de la Cruz, a Carmelite via Electa, a Carmelite.

          Pray today for all who have entered Carmel, 

          for  patience in suffering and for strength and 

         faith to endure the darkness. (Thanks Lutherans!)
