What is God’s plan for you? A Vocation is from God.

God calls each of us to live in love with him. We live that love in marriage or single life, in priestly or religious life.

A call to religious life can start with a sense of emptiness and a need for something more in life or an attraction to a life of deeper prayer and community.
You may know someone in religious life and feel attracted to that way of life.

God calls everyone to follow him. He has a task for us all, which only we can fulfil. Some he calls to Religious Life. It is such a privilege to be called by God. Maybe God is calling you to serve him in Carmel?

Life of Prayer

Our ministry is prayer.  It is the source of our life.  We cannot live without it.  Through it we deepen our friendship with God and find his loving presence in the world.

•  It is the very vocation of a Carmelite to bear witness to a life of prayer.  A special part of our prayer is time spent with God in silence.
• Sustained by the word of God and the sacred liturgy, we are led to live in intimate friendship with God.
• In prayer, we are called to a ‘hidden union with God’, in a form of life and fraternal sharing in which contemplative prayer and action combine to become a single apostolic service of the Church.
• By growing in the virtues of faith, hope and above all charity, we deepen our prayer life, and come to resemble more closely Christ himself.
