Joy of Carmel + Holy Eucharist

Saint Teresa of Ávila OCD - Doctor of the Church (Canonized March 12, 1622)
"I am quite sure that if we could but once approach the Most Holy Sacrament with great faith and love, it would suffice to make us rich. How much more so if we approach it often!"

Saint John of the Cross OCD - Doctor of the Church (Canonized December 27, 1726)
"The eternal tide flows hid in Living Bread. That with its Heavenly Life too be fed..."

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux OCD - Doctor of the Church (Canonized May 17, 1925)
"It is not to remain in a golden ciborium that He comes down each day from Heaven, but to find another Heaven, the Heaven of our soul in which He takes delight."

Saint Teresa of the Andes OCD (Canonized March 21, 1993)
"How is it that we do not die of love in seeing that God Himself could do no more than shed His divine blood for us drop by drop? When as man He was preparing for death, He made Himself our food in order to give us life. God becomes food, bread for his creatures. Is this not enough to make us die of love?"

Words of Monsignor Jara to Saint Teresa of the Andes' First Communion Class at Mass before receiving Jesus for the first time:
"Ask Jesus Christ that, if you will ever commit a mortal sin, that He will take you today, since your souls are as pure as the snow on the mountains. Pray to Him for your parents, the authors of your existence. For those who have lost their parents, this is the moment to seek to be united with them. Yes, you are approaching to become witnesses of the intimate union of your souls with Jesus Christ. Look at the angels of the altar, dear little girls. Look at them, they envy you. All heaven is present."

Saint Teresia Benedicta a Cruce OCD (Canonized October 11, 1998)
"The Bread That We Need Each Day To Grow In Eternal Life, Makes Of Our Will A Docile Instrument Of The Divine Will; Sets The Kingdom Of God Within Us; Gives Us Pure Lips, And A Pure Heart With Which To Glorify His Holy Name."

Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity OCD (Canonized October 16, 2016)
"Jesus' desire is for us to be with him in communion. This is what he aches for, his deepest desire that he prays for. This is what Jesus was doing the night before he died."

Blessed Maria Felicia of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament (Chiquitunga), OCD (Beatified June 23, 2018)
"I offer you everything, Lord."

Joy of Carmel + Love

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
"Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love."

Saint John of the Cross
"In the twilight of life, God will not judge us on our earthly possessions and human success, but rather on how much we have loved."

Saint Teresa of Ávila
"The important thing is not to think much but to love much; and so do that which best stirs you to love. Love is not great delight but desire to please God in everything."
