"There shall
be ample ground so that the Religious may build some hermitages to which
they may retire for prayer after the example of our Holy Father." Constitutions 65 |
| Saint Teresa reminds her daughters - "That the manner of life for Carmelites is not only to be Nuns, but also Hermits." St. Teresa ....The Way of Perfection |
 |
 |
The eremetical spirit is of prime importance for the Carmelite whose whole aim is to live with heart and soul dedicated to God. |
| A solitary life........... .............but not a lonely life |
 |
 | As a Carmelite is so often alone, Our Holy Mother, St. Teresa tells us to look for a companion. The very best Companion is He who taught us to say, "Our Father". |
When no one listens to me any more God still listens to me When I can no longer talk to anyone I can always talk to God When there is no longer anyone to help me He can help me When I am plunged into complete solitude If I pray I am never totally alone. Pope Benedict XV1 Spes Salve |
