Mary is totally dependent upon God and completely directed
towards him, and at the side of her Son, she is THE MOST PERFECT
IMAGE OF FREEDOM AND OF THE LIBERATION of humanity and of
the universe.
April: Dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament
As this is written, Easter is coming, please God we will feel renewed in our love and service of Him who died that we might live.
March: Dedicated to St Joseph
Lent – a time of contemplating the betrayal, suffering, and crucifixion of our beloved Lord and Master.

Our Foundress, St Teresa of Jesus, tells us: “Prayer is an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking
time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us.”
December: Dedicated to the Immaculate Conception

November: Dedicated to the Holy Souls
reflect on how we can examine the quality of our response to our Christian and Carmelite vocation… how am I responding generously, charitably, faithfully, zealously?

September: Dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows
I’d like to share with you my thoughts on reinvigorating the call to Secular
Carmel.
August: Dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
I looked at the Catholic Calendar for August. Amazing! (Go look at it!) It’s full of Saints Rememoration days, Feasts, the Transverberation of our dear St Teresa of Jesus. My stand-out is the Transfiguration of the Lord and the Assumption of Our Blessed Lady. What a month!
July: Dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus
