Alone with Him...

Carmelite Monastery in Germany

"You came to Carmel to find God...

Seek Him in solitude of heart, 

where alone He can be found."

Mother Isabel of the Sacred Heart

Lord, now that You have led me, your little one, into this solitude

 and whispered tenderly to me,

 I only want to hear Your voice… 

Now that I have experienced Your gaze,

 I don't want You to look away! 

 Now, that I have experienced Your love for me… 

I want You to teach me how to love You, even more!

 Now that I have felt what it is like

 to be scooped up into Your arms,

 I want to cling to You and not let go! 

 I want to feel our hearts beat as one heart…

I want to whisper to You in the night

 and quietly listen for You to say my name.
