Saying #116. The entire world is not worthy of a human being's thought, for this belongs to God alone; any thought, therefore, not centered on God is stolen from him. ~ St. John of the Cross
I have a great affinity for St. John of the Cross, although at times he can be very heavy, and if I'm real tired, I can't follow him. Thanks for sharing.
I am the mother of four children and have been blessed to be able to homeschool my youngest. We are currently using Catholic Heritage Curricula as well as some Montessori methods.
I am also a member of the Order of the Discalced Secular Carmelites. My daily life is imbued with the charism of the Carmelites and practicing the Presence of God in all that I do. I hope you will be able to come away a bit more spiritually enriched and confirmed in your vocation as mother and wife.THIS is where our sanctity lies.

O Holy Trinity, we thank you for having given to the Church Pope John Paul II, and for having made him shine with your fatherly tenderness, the glory of the Cross of Christ and the splendor of the Spirit of love
He, trusting completely in your infinite mercy and in the maternal intercession of Mary, has shown himself in the likeness of Jesus the Good Shepherd and has pointed out to us holiness as the path to reach eternal communion with You.
Grant us, through his intercession, according to your will, the grace that we implore, in the hope that he will soon be numbered among your saints. Amen.
Queen and Beauty of Mount Carmel, Virgin of the solitude In the wilderness of Carmel Lies the world's eternal good. Draw us to its deep seclusion And make God alone our goal In the mystical Mount Carmel That lies hidden in the soul.
"The Father spoke one Word, which was his Son, and this Word he speaks always in eternal silence, and in silence must it be heard by the soul."~St. John of the Cross
