My dear brothers and sisters in the Teresian Carmel: Peace and Hope!
Carmel is all Marian. Since the beginning of the Order, the life of prayer, so characteristic of our identity, has been intimately united to the Marian life. Throughout our history, so many outstanding Carmelites have lived a special relationship with the Blessed Virgin Mary, enriching our Carmelite charism with their Marian experience!
On the 22nd of June of 2023, Pope Francis filled our Order and the entire Church with utmost joy through the publication of the decree on the heroic virtues of Sister Maria Lucia of Jesus and of the Immaculate Heart.
What Marian experience did our sister live?
How does her Marian life enrich our Carmelite charism?
On this day of the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel, I wish to share with the whole Order some brief aspects of the biography, spiritual itinerary and mission of this sister of ours.
