Flowers of Carmel

“I already feel quite at home in this little cell. Time hasn’t been hanging heavily on my hands yet, quite the contrary. It is true that I am alone here, but I have never felt Our Lord so near. I could sing for joy, that He should once again have granted me to find Him so completely, without my being able to get in touch with other people, nor they with me. He is now my only refuge and I feel happy and secure. If it be His will, I am willing to remain here forever. I have seldom been so happy and contented.”

Bl. Titus Brandsma
