This is the Hermit's personal website with some of her favorite quotes from Carmelite Saints and also her reflections on her spiritual journey. You can also find the Chapel on this page to enter into prayer with the Hermit and others for the conversion of souls. It is very important in this noisy world to find a place where peace and joy live. I hope within these pages you find something that will refresh or encourage you on your spiritual journey.

The Cross will take you into the Online Community of St. John of the Cross Carmelite Hermitage. The Community is open for all seekers and those interested in exploring Carmelite spirituality with others and the Hermit.

ELIJAH THE PROPHET, on Mount Carmel -- As its name indicates, the Order of Carmelites took its origin in Palestine on the mountain famous from the Old Testament for the sacrifice of Elijah and for the grotto where the Prophet retired when he had accomplished his missions near Isreal: "From there he went to Mount Carmel" (2 Kgs 2:25)

He who desires nothing but GOD does not walk in darkness, however blind and poor he may think himself to be. He that is not presumptuous, nor desires his own satisfaction has no need to falter or fret over anything. You are progressing well, remain in peace and joy. Who do you think you are to be anxious about yourself? You will only get yourself into a fine state!
