“On the feast of the Nativity of our Lady I feel special joy.  When this day comes, I think it’s good to renew my vows.  And once while I was about to do so, the Blessed Virgin, our Lady,appeared to me through an illuminative vision; and it seems to me I renewed them in her hands and that they were pleasing to her.  This vision remained with me for some days, as though she were next to me at my left.” - St. Teresa of Avila

“Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural.  He does not build on any natural capacity of ours at all.  God does not ask us to do the things that are naturally easy for us - He only asks us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through His grace, and that is where the cross we must bear will always come.”

~Oswald Chambers

Only ask me about Kelli O’Hara as Anna Leonowens if you have three hours to spare. Her time with the Met has meant that her voice is in absolutely top form, and I cannot rave about her enough.
