St. Teresa of Jesus of the Andes wrote, “The Most Holy Virgin, my Mother, was a perfect Carmelite.” The word 'Carmel' means 'Garden of God.' With this in mind, St. Louis de Montfort wrote of her: “Mary is the true paradise of the new Adam… filled with untold riches, with beauty, with delights, with all sorts of good things the new Adam left there." God wants us to come out of the world and into this Garden, to partake of its beauty and graces. Jesus Himself is always in this garden. How do we do this? [1] If we become nothing (humility!), God will do something wonderful with us. [2] Draw near to Christ's Cross on Calvary (not a self-constructed one) and stay put there by wearing her Brown Scapular.
