Give thanks in all circumstances. Joy is hidden here.

Reflections

Give thanks in all circumstances. Joy is hidden here. Let that not stay just an idea — let it become the breath you take next.

St. Ignatius of Loyola knew this ground by name. They are not far from you. Their prayer, on the other side of glory, is praying you forward.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Carmelite Voice

St. Ignatius of Loyola

You do not have to resolve gratitude tonight. Staying here, in His company, choosing to be honest — that is already the beginning of healing.
