25.01.2022 Happy feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. St Lukes Gospel twice mentions that Mary kept all these things in her heart, pondering the word of God. Mary shows us how to listen to the words the Holy Spirit speaks to us in the depths of our hearts, and how to respond in faith. #immaculateheartofmary #feastday #catholiclife #catholicism #heart #femininegenius

23.01.2022 My dear friends in Christ On this feast of St Therese of Lisieux who is one of the greatest carmelite saints, I will be clothing 2 more postulants with the carm...elite habbit at our carmelite monastery in Mathoura.

23.01.2022 Advent usually becomes a very busy time as we all prepare our homes and schedules for Christmas. In amongst this flurry, don’t forget to prepare your interior self for the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Just five or ten minutes each day, stepping away from the rush and run-around, to reflect on a short scripture passage, and your own spiritual life can make a world of difference. Our Advent Journal has been designed to help with this, to guide your spiritual preparation fo...r Christmas. http://CLMFAdventJournal2020.ecwid.com We ship interstate, too!

21.01.2022 Solidarity... is not a feeling of vague compassion or shallow distress at the misfortunes of so many people, both near and far. On the contrary, it is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good; that is to say to the good of all and of each individual, because we are all really responsible for all. - Pope Saint John Paul II (Sollicitudo rei Socialis)

21.01.2022 Your faith spoke for this child. Baptism for this child was only delayed by time. Your faith suffices. The waters of your womb were they not the waters of life for this child? Look at your tears. Are they not like the waters of baptism? Do not fear this. God’s ability to love is greater than our fears. Surrender everything to God. - Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, in a letter to a couple who experienced a miscarriage. Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. We pray for all lost souls and their families today. May God grant them peace and comfort in grief, and joy on the horizon.

21.01.2022 ***From the Desk in June is out!*** FAMILIES: Challenging at the best of times - not to mention a global pandemic! Families can be challenging at the best of times. It doesnt take much, let alone a global pandemic, to upset what can be a delicate balance of relationships. Many families have found problems like isolation, social distancing, job changes, or job loss a difficult burden straining family relationships. Our homes can feel far from the prayer of Christ, I pray for... those who believe in me that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you (John 17:20-21).

15.01.2022 We need to build up society in the light of the Beatitudes, walking towards the Kingdom with the least among us. - Pope Francis Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.... Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. - Matthew 5:1-12 See more

03.01.2022 Come, brothers, let us at length spur ourselves on. We must rise again with Christ, we must seek the world which is above and set our mind on the things of heaven. Let us long for those who are longing for us, hasten to those who are waiting for us, and ask those who look for our coming to intercede for us. We should not only want to be with the saints, we should also hope to possess their happiness. While we desire to be in their company, we must also earnestly seek to shar...e in their glory. Do not imagine that there is anything harmful in such an ambition as this; there is no danger in setting our hearts on such glory. - St. Bernard of Clairvaux Blessed Solemnity of All Saints!
