  3. Quote of the day, 21 February: St. Elizabeth of the Trinity

    “Any destiny that doesn’t have its calvary is a punishment from God.”

    Père Didon

    Oh, then, if we knew how to surrender ourselves totally into the hands of Him who is our Father. . . . I recommend your intentions to Him.

    Do not doubt Him, dear Madame, abandon everything to Him, as well as to your little friend [Elizabeth]. . . . She will be your advocate . . . for her mission is to pray unceasingly, and you know how much that holds true for you! She is so HAPPY, with a happiness that God alone knows, for He is its sole Object, a happiness that closely resembles that of Heaven.

    During this Lent, so divine in Carmel, my soul will be especially united to yours. I am asking God to show you the sweetness of His presence and to make your soul a sanctuary where He can come to be consoled. Will you let me enter there and, with you, adore Him who dwells there?

    Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity

    Letter 157 to Madame de Sourdon (excerpt)
    21 February 1903

  4. Quote of the day, 18 February: St. Teresa of Avila

    Jesus. May the Holy Spirit be with your honor, my sister. I tell you that if I were to go about looking for my own satisfaction, I would consider it a trial that we are always so separated. Since, however, we are in a land of exile, we will have to endure it until our Lord brings us to the place that will last forever.

    I am leaving, God willing, on Ash Wednesday. I will be in Medina for eight days—for I cannot delay—nor do I even know if it will be that long; then another eight days in Avila. I’ll be greatly consoled to see you there even if for only one day …

    Saint Teresa of Avila

    Letter 327 to her sister, Doña Juana de Ahumada
    Written from Malagón, the second half of January 1580

    Teresa of Avila, St. 1985, The Collected Works of St. Teresa of Avila, translated from the Spanish by Kavanaugh, K; Rodriguez, O, ICS Publications, Washington DC.

  5. The Inferiority Complex

    The hardest decision that I had to make in my life so far was labeling myself selfish for being structurally unable to meet the people that everybody else in my community already knows well. I am meant to be famous, and everyone around me with the exception of my direct authorities would agree. However, after never receiving the natural opportunities that would allow me to network with peers that everybody else gets to network to, I would decide that I am a lesser person for my missed […]

  9. @AlexanderKingsbury I continue upon my journey of understanding the consequences of #capitalism and have identified #deadlines #procrastination #consolation #hierarchy and more topics as inherently capitalist. I also believe that the suppression of true friendships in the real world is also a symptom of capitalism and would not exist under #degrowth #ecologism movements.

  11. Quote of the day, 15 September: St. Elizabeth of the Trinity

    I come to you by passing through the pierced Heart of the Mother of Sorrows.

    Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity
    Letter 312 to Madame Anthès

    Note: The envelope has been preserved, postmarked Dijon, “9–18, 1906, at 8 P.M.” Baroness d’Anthès had just lost her daughter, Mme. de Maizières, and received this consoling note from St. Elizabeth. We can assume that Letter 313 to Mme. de Sourdon (the deceased woman’s sister) was sent the same day. St. Elizabeth shared a close friendship with the de Sourdon family—indeed, one of the saint’s final letters was a spiritual testament to Mme. de Sourdon, written less than two weeks before Elizabeth’s own death.

  12. Quote of the day, 29 April: Brother Lawrence

    What consoles me in this life is that I see God by faith. And I see him in such a way that I can sometimes say, “I no longer believe, I see, for I experience what faith teaches.” With this assurance, and by this practice of faith, I will live and die with him.

    Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection, O.C.D.

    Letter 11 to a nun (excerpt)

  18. "Ainsi en a décrété la multitude ; mais les décrets de la multitude sont pour la plupart abrogés par les sages."

    "On n’est jamais méprisé par autrui que si on commence par se mépriser soi-même."

    "Il faut souvent rappeler à notre cœur d’aimer comme si la séparation allait survenir et même comme si elle survenait déjà."

    Sénèque, Consolations.
