"She lived in solitude,
and now in solitude
has built her nest;
and in solitude,
He guides her...
He alone,
who also bears
in solitude,
the wound
of love."
St. John of The Cross
"When we are at our most troubled and can't see a clear way out of the darkness, Mary is right beside us, giving us the light we need to take the next steps."
Flos Carmeli by John-Mary Winters, O.C.D. and Michael-Joseph Paris, O.C.D.
