O Queen and Beauty of Carmel,
I rejoice to be
in Your motherly care.
No harm shall come to me
beneath Your watchful eye.
I love Your tender smile,
and the assurance that
my tiny hand is held by Yours
O Mary, Fragrance
of Holiness!
Purity beyond comprehension,
I delight to be
Your child.
O Full of Grace,
draw me close to You.
And let your motherly touch
leave traces
of Your Holiness
lingering upon me
that I may resemble You.
I thank God that
You are my Mother,
For time and eternity
O lovely and incomparable
Virgin of Carmel.
Happy and blessed Feast Day Patricia, dear sister in Carmel! I hope you have a joy-filled day. I will be with you in thought and prayer.
Blessings and Joy to you as well, my dear sister in Carmel! I wonder how they are celebrating in Heaven?? : )
Happy Feast Day Patricia !.I knew I’d find a most beautiful meditation here today…
“And let your motherly touch
leave traces
of Your Holiness”
So beautiful…
Have a blessed day..
Love and +
Thank you, Caroline! Isn’t it nice that we both have birthdays in the same month as major feasts for our respective Orders? Today is a Solemnity for us…is St. Benedict’s Feast a celebrated as a Solemnity for Benedictines?
This blessed day is passing so quickly! Only in Heaven will the joys never end…
Love u….. xoxo
This is so beautiful, Patricia! Thank you! I love “O Mary, Fragrance of Holiness”!

Thank you, dear Mary! So sorry you have to visit through your husband’s account, but am so grateful you make the extra effort. xoxo
Lovely!
Anne, thanks so much for stopping by for coffee, and getting caught up
I look forward to doing the same at your place. Could you put a Coke on ice for me? (What a terrible thing to ask a nutritionist!) Hugs to you, dear Anne : )
