St. Teresa of the Andes “God the joy of my Life”

From the Diary of St. Teresa of the Andes “God the joy of my Life”  (#58 – The Life of a Carmelite Resolutions.)

    “Perfection of life consists in drawing close to God.  Heaven is the possession of God.  In heaven God is contemplated, adored, loved.  But to attain heaven it’s necessary to be detached from what is earthly.  What is the life of a Carmelite if not one of contemplating, adoring and loving God incessantly?  And she, by being desirous for that heaven, distances herself from the world and tries to detach herself as much as possible from everything earthly.”

Oblation to Merciful Love

Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face | Act of Oblation to Merciful Love

"I do not want to lay up merits for heaven.  I want to work for Your Love alone with the one purpose of pleasing You, consoling Your Sacred Heart, and saving souls who will love You eternally.
