For God so loved the world, as to give His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting. – Saint John the Apostle

Saint Bruno




Rejoice, my dearest brothers, because you are blessed and because of the bountiful hand of God's grace upon you. Rejoice, because you have escaped the various dangers and shipwrecks of the stormy world. Rejoice because you have reached the quiet and safe anchorage of a secret harbor. Many wish to come into this port, and many make great efforts to do so, yet do not achieve it. Indeed many, after reaching it, have been thrust out, since it was not granted them from above. 

-- Saint Bruno from a letter to the Carthusians

Saint Mary Faustina Kowalska



Neither graces, nor revelations, nor raptures, nor gifts granted to a soul make it perfect, but rather the intimate union of the soul with God. These gifts are merely ornaments of the soul, but constitute neither its essence nor its perfection. My sanctity and perfection consist in the close union of my will with the will of God.

-- Saint Mary Faustina Kowalska from her diary "Divine Mercy in my Soul"

Cinnamon Coffee Cake Flavored Coffee



Available now from Mystic Monk Coffee is a flavored coffee, Cinnamon Coffee Cake (ground regular).  

The good monks say:

"Perfect for those cold fall days!

The aroma of freshly baked coffee cake melts away into a rich and creamy flavored coffee, with essences of hazelnut and brown sugar. Cinnamon Coffee Cake is one of the most outstanding flavors available."

Available for $11.95 per 12 ounce bag, 3 or more bags are $10.95 each.

Remember, your purchase of Mystic Monk Coffee helps support the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming, and this blogger!

Go forth in peace, for you have followed the good road. Go forth without fear, for he who created you has made you holy, has always protected you, and loves you as a mother. Blessed be you, my God, for having created me.

Saint Augustine of Hippo



Mary is more blessed because she embraces faith in Christ than because she conceives the flesh of Christ.

Saint Therese of Lisieux



You know well enough that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do them. 

-- Saint Therese of Lisieux
