This profound quotation is commonly called St. Teresa’s Bookmark as it was found tucked into one of the great saint’s books. St. Teresa of Avila was a Carmelite nun who lived in Spain and was a great mystic and prolific spiritual writer. I created this image today for three people: for Barbara and Jerry, my mother’s neighbors who lost their home in a fire yesterday. All of their worldly possessions were destroyed in about thirty minutes. Barbara ran out of the house with her purse, her robe and house slippers, and the cup of coffee she was holding when smoke billowed everywhere. The other person I created this for is a friend, Brenda, who emailed me to say she was feeling low and needed a word of encouragement. I thought that these three people who are deeply troubled would be comforted by these words of enduring wisdom and truth. Maybe someone else needs to hear them, too. God help us all to remember that he alone suffices and he alone is unchanging and dependable.

“Prayer is a friendly conversation with the One we know loves us.” St. Teresa of Avila Catherine De Hueck Doherty explained the same concept this way: “Prayer is conversation with God. It does not require a thousand books. It requires a simple and tremendous love of God and a total simplicity. I am beloved by God. He created me. This is the first idea. And he wants to be loved by me. We have to get that into our heads. Then we proceed to tell him we love him.” I think if we all engaged a lot more in this kind of friendly conversation with our Creator, the entire creation would benefit tremendously. I, for one, need to pray more. It’s as easy and as necessary as breathing; I wonder why we forget to do it?

An acrylic portrait painting on canvas of a popular Catholic saint called, Therese of Lisieux, also known as The Little Flower. She was a Carmelite Nun who died at an early age, leaving a spiritual journal which revealed a simple devout soul. The brown Carmelite habit is what she wears in this painting. / Her penetrating eyes and mysterious smile are a challenge to paint!

This 16th Century Carmelite Monastery, dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, was designed by Maltese Architect Francesco Sammut and took 12 years to build. The Carmelite Friars were a Sicilian order who came to Malta in 1370. The Church interior with its 7 Altars and Palladian pilasters, under an oval and well-lit nave-cum-dome, is unexpectantly rich, despite the French Army’s looting of the Church in 1798, to help in Napoleon’s war effort. The ransacking of this Monastery’s treasures by the French, sparked the uprising which overthrew the French in 1800, after just two years of rule.

This picture of a young Carmelite Friar was taken through the glass pane of one of the Yard Windows of the Carmelite Monastery of Mdina, Malta. His chores of the day included the watering of the plants in this typical 16th Century round Monastery Yard, with water drawn from the old well in the middle. In keeping up with modern times, this chore is easier done nowadays with the use of an electric pump.
