Gentle Reminder: Today is a fast day for all Secular Carmelites in preparation for Our Lady of Mt. Carmel's feast day tomorrow.

SAYING #137

To lose always and let everyone else win is a trait of valiant souls, generous spirits, and unselfish hearts; it is their manner to give rather than to receive even to the extent of giving themselves. They consider it a heavy burden to possess themselves and it pleases them more to be possessed by others and withrawn from themselves, since we belong more to that infinite Good than we do to ourselves.

Peace be with you!
Rosemarie, ocds
