1.      The Annunciation

O, how sweet is the way of love. How I want to apply myself to doing the will of God always with the greatest surrender.

(Story of a Soul)


2.      The Visitation

What banquet could a Carmelite sister offer her sisters, except a spiritual banquet of loving and joyful charity? As far as I am concerned, I know no other and I want to imitate St. Paul who rejoiced with those who rejoice.

(Story of a Soul, Man C Ch 11)


3.      The Nativity

In the brilliant light which illuminates the joy of the Holy Trinity,

Jesus, the gentle, little child of the hour, will change the darkness of my soul into torrents of light.

(Story of a Soul, Man A 44v)


4.      The Presentation in the Temple

For some time now, I had offered myself to the Child Jesus as his little toy. I had asked him not to use me as a prized toy, one that children are usually satisfied just to look at without touching, but as a small ball of little value that He can throw down to the ground, kick, puncture, leave in a corner or press to His Heart if it should please Him.

(Story of a Soul, Man A 64v)


5.      The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple

Where have you hidden, Beloved? And left me moaning. You fled like the stag after wounding me. I went out, calling You, but You were gone.

(St. John of the Cross, The Spiritual Canticle)
