Leaving our narrowness...

 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; 
you have made my lot secure.  The boundary lines 
have fallen for me in pleasant places; 
surely I have a delightful inheritance. - Psalm 16: 5-6

 
“To live the Eucharistic life 
means to exit the narrowness 
of one’s own life...

in order to grow into 
the infinity of Christ’s life.”

"When night comes, and retrospect shows that everything 
was patchwork and much that one had planned left undone, 
when so many things rouse shame and regret, 
then take all as is, 
lay it in God's hands, and offer it up to Him. 
In this way we will be able to rest in Him, actually to rest 
and to begin the new day like a new life."
 St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross

"Hail to the Cross, our only Hope!" 
 St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross

"It is most important that the Holy Eucharist 
becomes life's focal point." 
 St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross

St Teresa Benedicta, pray for us!
