A life lived in God's presence
A life lived in God's presence
Carmelite spirituality is a path of prayer, silence, and loving attention to God - lived in the midst of everyday life.
WHAT IS CARMELITE SPIRITUALITY?
WHAT IS CARMELITE SPIRITUALITY?
Carmelite spirituality is about relationship - a deep, personal friendship with God. It is a simple and profound way of living: to be with God, to listen to Him, and to respond with love.
The Carmelite way is not complicated. It is simple, quiet, faithful, and rooted in love. It transforms how we see, pray, and live.
ROOTED IN ELIJAH AND MARY
ROOTED IN ELIJAH AND MARY
Elijah - The Prophet, teaches us to stand before God - to be aware of His presence in every moment. He approaches God in silence, attentiveness, and fidelity.
Mary - Our Lady of Mount Carmel, shows us how to receive God's word and carry it into the world. She approaches God with openness, trust, and quiet fathfulness.
Together, Elijah and Mary model a life of prayerful presence and loving response.
PRAYER AT THE HEART
PRAYER AT THE HEART
"Prayer is nothing else than a close sharing between friends." St Teresa of Avila
Prayer is the center of our daily life. Lay Carmelites:
participate in Mass
pray the Liturgy of the Hours
spend time in quiet, Scripture-based prayer
Carmelite spirituality is not lived apart from the world, but within it. In ordinary life, we seek to be aware of God's presence, and act with love. Every moment becomes an opportunity to be with God.
A SHARED JOURNEY
A SHARED JOURNEY
This path is not walked alone. Carmelite spirituality is lived within a community, where we support one another, grow together, and encourage one another in faith. Community helps us remain faithful and grounded.
LOVE IN ACTION
LOVE IN ACTION
Prayer leads to love. Carmelite spirituality naturally flows into service - not as something separate, but as the fruit of a life rooted in God. We are called to bring peace, live with compassion, and reflect Christ in everyday life.
The Carmelite way is not complicated. It is simple, quiet, faithful, and rooted in love. Over time, it transforms how we see, pray, and live.
