Description
St. Elizabeth’s definition of a Carmelite:
A Carmelite is a soul who
has gazed on the Crucified,
who has seen Him
offering Himself to
His Father as a
Victim for souls and,
recollecting herself in
this great vision of the charity of Christ,
has understood the
passionate love of
His soul, and has
wanted to giver herself
as He did!
And on the mountain
of Carmel, in silence,
in solitude, in prayer that
never ends, for it continues
through everything,
the Carmelite already
lives as if in Heaven:
“by God alone.”
She is identified with
Him whom she loves,
she finds Him everywhere;
she sees Him shining
through all things!
Is this not Heaven on Earth!
Don’t ever leave Him,
do everything
beneath His divine gaze,
and remain wholly
joyful in His peace
and love, making those
around you happy!
