Friends of Carmel

 

See Friends of Carmel Prayer-Study Group

Friends of Carmel affords an opportunity for individuals wishing  to journey with others to:

-deepen their understanding of Carmelite spirituality through personal work guided by short extracts from the writings of the Carmelite Saints;

-benefit from support for their spiritual life and make progress in the practice of Carmelite prayer;

-experience conviviality and discussion in the safety of the weekly (or monthly) meetings led by a Secular Carmelite;

The Goal is to encourage, enlighten and support one another, to pray together and to enable each one's personal friendship with God.

Participants commit to:

-reading the short assigned text as many times as possible during the week (or month) with an attentive heart in order for the text to 'work' within you;

-devoting time regularly to interior prayer;

-regular attendance and active participation in weekly or monthly meetings;

-contributing within one's means to the expenses of our group's expenses.
