“In the End, My Immaculate Heart Will Triumph”

“In the End, My Immaculate Heart Will Triumph”

August 21, 2023

“You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.”… Read More...

Queen of Carmel

Queen of Carmel

July 12, 2023

Please join us in our novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel preparing for her feast Day!

In WEBSITE NEWS we look at the history and symbolism of the original image of Our Lady of Mount Carmel that was venerated by the first Carmelite monks on Mount Carmel. We have made our own reproduction of this image for your devotion.

In COMMUNITY NEWS we share pictures of our new greenhouse and garden projects. Read More….

Heart of Jesus, Fountain of Life and Holiness

Heart of Jesus, Fountain of Life and Holiness

June 14, 2023

As to persons living in the world, they shall find in this devotion all the aids necessary in their state of life: peace in their homes, consolation in their work, the blessing of heaven upon all their enterprises, comfort in their sorrows, a secure refuge during life and especially at the hour of death. It is plainly evident that there is no one in the world who will not receive all kinds of heavenly blessings if they have a true love of Jesus Christ manifested by a devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. – St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

The Apostles’ Retreat

The Apostles’ Retreat

May 22, 2023

It was during these days of the “first retreat” between the Feast of the Ascension and Pentecost that the Apostles underwent the last and most difficult part of their spiritual training. The season of Pentecost is the season of sanctification. Throughout our life, it is our turn to “fight the good fight” and carry Christ’s truth and victory banner into the world.

We also remember the anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima and all her message means for the modern world.

In WEBSITE NEWS we give suggestions for reading during this holy Liturgical season, introduce some new images of Blessed Mother, and give an update on our attempts to update the rosary ordering process on our website.

In COMMUNITY NEWS we finally finished the big vestment project we have been working on for the last four years – a solemn vestment set for Easter. We share pictures and stories of how a solemn set like this is made. Read more…

Blessed Easter!

Blessed Easter!

April 7, 2023

The light of the Resurrection is eternal! No darkness may reverse or conceal it. Christ, our Victim and our Savior, reigns, “despite His enemies”. May this serene and holy light penetrate the souls of all the redeemed and renew the Church of our Risen King. Read more…

Head of the Holy Family

Head of the Holy Family

March 14, 2023

Happy upcoming Feast of St. Joseph! Today, we wish to highlight St. Joseph’s special patronage of families. Every Catholic knows that St. Joseph is the patron of families and family life. His exalted vocation, by God’s singular design, was to be the father-on-earth of God the Son Incarnate – and to be head of the Holy Family. St. Joseph guides everyone, he prays for everyone, he is everyone’s patron saint!

In WEBSITE NEWS we introduce a new relic badge for the Holy Family, as well as scented candles, St. Joseph books, and Easter books

In COMMUNITY NEWS we give an update on the community for the past few months. Read More….

Candlemas

Candlemas

January 29, 2023

This feast marks the official end of the “Christmas season,” and serves as something as a fulcrum between the first part of the liturgical year, Christmas and Epiphany, and the second part, Lent, Passiontide, and Easter. For while the joy and charm of Christmas and the Birth of the Christ Child are renewed with prayers that proclaim Him “the Light of the World,” this event in Our Lord’s life was His “Offertory” – the prelude to His sufferings and redemptive work. It is also the day designated for the special blessing of candles, an important Sacramental for the Church.

We also introduce new our new offering of scented candles and give suggestions for Lenten reading. Read more…

Advent Meditations

Advent Meditations

November 28, 2022

Holy Simplicity

Holy Simplicity

October 22, 2022

Simplicity in life and in our spiritual life is what our loving God desires for us. God, Who is holiness and simplicity itself, and Who made us in His Own image, urges us by His grace in our souls, to become like Him. The lesson of simplicity is really all about detachment and trustful abandonment to God and His Providence – all for love’s sake and for the life that we must share with God. It’s about love!

In WEBSITE NEWS we give the history and describe the beautiful symbolism behind devotion to the Infant of Prague, as well as spiritual reading suggestions and suggestions for Advent.

In COMMUNITY NEWS we share pictures of our projects from the last few months, especially new gowns we made for the renovation of our own Infant of Prague statue. Read More….

King and Center of All Hearts

King and Center of All Hearts

June 23, 2022

In times of worldwide unrest, we instinctively look for answers and for someone to lead us out of it; a leader who could pacify the unruly chaos that rules society and so troubles humanity. The sublime prayer of the Litany of the Sacred Heart addresses Our Lord with many worthy titles that both proclaim and petition His Heart’s mercy to help, guide and lead us. One of these is Heart of Jesus, King and Center of all hearts, have mercy on us!

In WEBSITE NEWS We share devotionals related to the Sacred Heart, including many different images for enthronement in the home.

In COMMUNITY NEWS we review some of the events in the Monastery the past few months, from the late Winter storm to our latest vestment project. Read More….
