Rose Petals: Faith

Thoughts of Blessed Francisco Palau, Founder of the Carmelite Missionaries

"We talk and plan, make and unmake plans as creatures that walk in the world of continuous struggle, and God who sees our thoughts, perhaps, smiles at them and in his wisdom has disposed other plans. That he laughs well and good. We have to talk and work as men on those we do know is not against the will of God".
"The great work of God in man takes place in the interior. The order that appears and is manifested outside is the work and effect of the interior order."
"Love of God and love of neighbor: this is the object of my mission".
