A Brief Retreat Notice

Dear Carmelite Quotes Family,

I will be away from my desk to make a retreat from May 8–15, 2026. During my absence, I ask you to remember me in your prayers, even as I promise to pray for you.

Throughout the coming week, I will share some of the most popular articles from Carmelite Quotes on Substack, where quotations from our greatest saints and spiritual authors are presented in a different format, free of charge.

May these reflections renew your spirit as this retreat renews mine.

Regular Quote of the Day publications will resume on May 16.

— C.Q.

A quotation from Terry Pratchett

And Sergeant Colon once again knew a secret about bravery. It was arguably a kind of enhanced cowardice — the knowledge that while death may await you if you advance it will be a picnic compared to the certain living hell that awaits should you retreat.

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld No. 21, Jingo (1988)

Die letzten drei Tage kamen meine #CoWorkLand-Kolleg:innen und ich zu unserem vierteljährlichen Team-#Retreat zusammen. Diesmal trafen wir uns bei unserem Mitglied, dem IDA in #Arendsee. Ich nutzte diesen Anlass für eine kleine Radtour durch die #Altmark und fuhr mit dem Fahrrad hin und zurück. Auf dem Weg sah ich u.a. den Fernsehturm in #Derenque, der erste Fernsehturm aus Stahlbeton in der DDR, sowie die Dorfkirche in #Losse, der ersten Pfarrstelle meines Großvaters in den 1960er Jahren. 📸
