St John of the Cross and Creation
February 2, 2026
A year devoted to John of the Cross does not allow us to read his works in the way we were able to do previously with Saint Teresa of Jesus and later with Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus.

Welcome to 2026 everyone! May it be a year of blessings and good health, both spiritually and physically!
We discover the gifts available for us: we pray the Holy Spirit will give us all we need. Mary is a gift for the Church, for the world,
for Secular Carmelites.
We prayerfully thank St John of the Cross, our Father, for all he teaches us, for all his insights and encouragement for us on our way up Mount Carmel.
Here we are already in the month especially dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Also, the time of the year for our annual Retreat.
Our highly desirable silent retreat is back in Christchurch from 14-16 November, 2025. “The Gift of Carmel”.
