Heavenly Father, you have given us the model of life in the Holy Family of Nazareth. Help us, O Loving Father, to make our family another Nazareth where love, peace and joy reign. May it be deeply contemplative, intensely Eucharistic, revived with joy.
Help us to stay together in joy and sorrow in family prayer. Teach us to see Jesus in the members of our families, especially in their distressing disguise. May the eucharistic heart of Jesus make our hearts humble like his and help us to carry out our family duties in a holy way. May we love one another as God loves each one of us, more and more each day, and forgive each other's faults as you forgive our sins. Help us, O Loving Father, to take whatever you give and give whatever you take with a big smile.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, cause of our joy, pray for us.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
Holy Guardian Angels, be always with us, guide and protect us.
Amen
On this blog, I will share different things I have learned as an OCDS Carmelite. 1st: Let us remember that we are in the presence of God, wherever we are! 2nd: You will find info on each Carmelite Saint & Blessed, under the archive of 2008. You will find prayers under the archive of 2007. Please Enjoy! The vocation to the Teresian Carmel is a commitment to live a life of allegiance to Jesus Christ.

Carmelites...
Carmelites are about maneuvering through darkness -- the darkness of sin, disillusionment, disappointment, discouragement, feelings of being unloved, unappreciated, unimportant or unworthy -- the darkness of a lack of self-worth, addictive flight patterns, fatigue -- the heavy destructive darkness that I can earn my salvation, and live off my own resources -- the deceptive and blinding darkness of false gods I've created and unreal expectations -- maneuvering and journeying with faith that there is light hidden within the human experience, because of the en-flesh-ment of God in Jesus and his absolute embrace of our human experience. Carmelites believe in our life, ministry and prayer that deep within lies the fire of God -- even if it feels like cooling embers, the fire never dies -- because the human soul is the spark of God.
