Happy the
enamored heart,
Thought centered on God alone,
Renouncing every creature for Him,
Finding in Him glory and contentment.
Living forgetful of self,
In God is all its intention, |
Happy and so
joyfully it journeys
through waves of this stormy sea.
~St. Teresa of Jesus, O.Carm.

of St. Teresa of Avila, Volume Three ©1985) |
O Garment of
Grace
so beautiful,
How near to the heart.
The Scapular of Mother's love
she clothes us with herself.
O beautious and bountious Love
from a Mother so dear
Ho much I feel so loved by he
that she would keep me near. |
If only all could
understand dear Mother,
what this garment is ~
To wear the grace most worthily
of final wedded bliss.
You clothe us with eternity
while we're here on earth.
I love you.
~Mary Magdalen of Jesus, T.O.Carm.
