Fiat Voluntas Tua: Carmel

our life, mostly in pictures and everynow and then a few words.... because i love my camera and I'm not always so good with words!

Not that I have become perfect yet: I have not yet won, but I am still running, trying to capture the prize for which Christ Jesus captured me. I can assure you my brothers, I am far from thinking that I have already won. All I can say is that I forget the past and I strain ahead for what is still to come; I am racing for the finish, for the prize to which God calls us upwards to receive in Christ Jesus. (Phil 3:13-14)

'Fiat Voluntas Tua: Thy will shall be done'

"the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world"

A women must be so in love with God, that a man needs to fall in love with Him to find her...

I know I am a princess, for my Father is the King of Kings.

"We can be sure and do not need to fear: For every wish we gibe up for His Will, we will get a mulitiude of graces that will increase the peace and order of soul that only His Will can create in us!" - Msgr. R. Michael Schmitz

Lord, inspire me.....

Augustine (5th century) comments on those who stood at the cross of Jesus: "As they were looking on, so we too gaze on his wounds as he hangs. We see his blood as he dies. We see the price offered by the redeemer, tought the scars of hisresurrection. He bows his head, as if to kiss you. His heart is made bare open, as it were, in love to you. His arms are extended that he may embrace you. His whole body is displayed for your redemption. Ponder how great these things area. Let all this be rightly weighted in your mind: as he was fixed to the cross in every part of his body for you, so he may now be fixed in every part of your soul."

"Wisdom enters through love, silence, and mortification. It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others." - St. John of the Cross

"The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a mother" - St. Therese of Lissuex

2MC 7:1, 20-31

"A married woman must leave God at the altar to find Him in her domestic cares." - St. Frances of Rome

"To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents and the children. Each member of the family has to become, in a special way, the servant of the others. "-Pope John Paul II

But she will be saved through motherhood, provided women persevere in faith and love and holiness, with self control. ~1 Tim 2:15

We take seriously the teachings of the Catholic Church. Sometimes hard. Always rewarding.
