Carmelite Spirituality
Let nothing trouble you, let nothing frighten you, all things pass away. The one who possesses God, lacks nothing. God alone suffices. (Teresa of Avila)
What is Carmelite Spirituality
To speak of spirituality is to speak of inspiration, that is, of ways of seeing, of profound conviction,of attitudes and ways of being, of the dynamism of life.
Transformation of Consciousness
We are called to a transformation of consciousness which frees us from violence, greed and hatred, opening to love, compassion and prophetic hope.

Prayer for the Synod:
We stand before You, Holy Spirit, as we gather together in Your name.
With You alone to guide us, make Yourself at home in our hearts;
Teach us the way we must go and how we are to pursue it.
We are weak and sinful; do not let us promote disorder.
Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path nor partiality influence our actions.
Let us find in You our unity so that we may journey together to eternal life and not stray from the way of truth and what is right.
All this we ask of You, who are at work in every place and time, in the communion of the Father and the Son, forever and ever.
Amen
