Yesterday was our Day of Recollection for my Carmelite Community. One of our community members facilitated a talk on Titus Brandsma and he did such a nice job with it. I didn't know very much about Brandsma so it was very interesting and I look forward to researching more about him. 

We also had some quiet time in the church which was nice because I haven't been feeling very well lately and sick with a cold. Since I was sitting in front of the altar (I usually sit at the side of the altar for our meetings) I was able to see the large writing behind the altar that reads:

"Intra Tua Vulnera Absconde Me"

not knowing what it meant I naturally googled it and read:

"Into Your wounds hide me."

That's exactly what I needed to see at that time. That is my desire, Lord! Just allow me to climb up into your arms and hold me, love me and hide me.
