Your brother B., and whoever may succeed you as Prior, must always keep in mind and put into practice what our Lord said in the Gospel: Whoever has a mind to become a leader among you must make yourself servant to the rest, and whichever of you would be first must become your bondsman. Carmelite Rule 22

"Lord, I place myself into Your loving hands, let me not waken in the morning without praising Your goodness to me, or go to sleep at night without thanking You for the completion of the day. Keep me, Lord, ever in Your presence, help me to keep You ever in my thoughts, words and deeds."
