  1. Quote of the day, 19 December: St. Teresa of St. Augustine

    Spiritual childhood is about uniting oneself to the mystery of Christmas. Here are the instructions you requested concerning the “Incarnate Word,” so that you may begin it at Christmas. I am eager to send them to you.

    Let us unite ourselves, my dearest child, to honor this mystery of love by adoring our God who became a child. Let us humble ourselves, annihilate ourselves, and embrace this state of spiritual childhood, this practice of holy simplicity, in the way we have so often discussed.

    I invite you to meet me at the manger every day until the Feast of the Presentation.

    Saint Teresa of St. Augustine
