Carmelite Spirituality

Beskrivelse

CARMELITE SPIRITUALITYThe Way of Carmelite Prayer and ContemplationCardinal Anders Arborelius, O.C.D.Centered on prayer and contemplation, Carmelite spirituality seeks to awaken in its practitioners an intense thirst for an immediate and direct experience of God, from which can grow a deep and loving friendship with Him.Most fully developed by St. John of the Cross (d. 1591) and St. Teresa of Avila (d. 1582) and then enriched by St. Thérèse of Lisieux (d. 1897), Carmelite spirituality flourishes in solitude and silence, nurtured by quieting external noise and turning away from interior distractions.Not at all limited to persons in monastic or convent life, Carmelite spirituality is meant for all who yearn for a deeper and sustained union with God. That is, it is meant for you.
