Discalced Nuns of the Order of our Lady of Mount Carmel

What is a Carmelite

Our Order is a religious family which is rooted in the Holy Scriptures, with the prophet Elijah, and in the tradition which saw the birth of the Rule for the first hermits of Mount Carmel.  Its charism attained maturity in Teresa of Jesus and John of the Cross, both doctors of the Church.  Its members are formed in a living way, being helped to enter into this tradition by prayer, study and a Teresian way of life.

Novena to St Therese of the Child Jesus
The Little Flower

Dearest Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus,

You said that you would spend your time in heaven doing good on earth.
Your trust in God was complete. Pray that He may increase my trust in His goodness and mercy as I ask for the following petitions... (mention your intentions)
Pray for me that I, like you, may have great and innocent confidence in the loving promises of our God. Pray that I may live my life in union with God's plan for me,

and one day see the Face of God whom you loved so deeply.
St. Thérèse, you were faithful to God up until the moment of your death.
Pray for me that I may be faithful to our loving God.

May my life bring peace and love to the world through faithful endurance of love for God our savior. Amen
