Feast in India: St Therese of Lisieux I October 1 I Isaiah 66: 10-14c I CARMEL LIGHT

Isaiah 66: 10-14c “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river.” “Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice with her in joy, all you who mourn over her; that you may nurse and be satisfied from her consoling breast; that you may drink deeply with delight from her glorious abundance.” For thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; and you shall nurse, you shall be carried upon her hip, and bounced upon her knees. As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice; your bones shall flourish like the grass; and the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants.” Psalm 131:1, 2, 3 Keep my soul in peace at your side, O Lord. 1. O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor haughty my eyes. I have not gone after things too great, nor marvels beyond me. 2. Truly, I have set my soul in tranquility and silence. As a weaned child on its mother, as a weaned child is my soul within me. 3. O Israel, wait for the Lord, both now and forever.
