From the life of St. Teresa of Jesus (Avila):
Before entering the new monastery, while in prayer outside in the church, being almost in rapture, I saw Christ who seemed to be receiving me with great love and placing a crown on my head and thanking me for what I did for His Mother.
Another time while all were at prayer in choir after compline, I saw our Lady in the greatest glory clothed in a white mantle; it seemed she was sheltering us all under it. I understood how high a degree of glory the Lord would give to those living in this house.
Here are links to wonderful blogs focused on Carmelite spirituality. Enjoy!
Peace be with you!
Rosemarie, ocds
