The Carmelite Charism

The Carmelite Charism

The Carmelite charism began on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land, where hermits gathered in silence, seeking not escape from the world, but a deeper encounter with God within it.

Youth Voices of Carmel @ CCHS

This collaborative project seeks to flip the script. Rather than presenting a scripted message to young people, Religious and Lay Carmelites are invited to listen first, allowing youth to lead the conversation through their own questions, experiences, and perspectives. Together, these conversations open a dialogue centered on what it means to live Carmel in the 21st century through the eyes and voices of today’s youth.

Praying with Brother Lawrence of the Resurrectrion

“We look for methods to learn how to love God. We want to get there by I don’t know how many practices. A multitude of methods makes it more difficult for us to remain in God’s presence. Isn’t it much shorter and more direct to just do everything for the love of God?”
