The Love of the Immaculate Heart

The Love of the Immaculate Heart

We want to wish you a blessed Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Today, many of man’s miseries are due to disordered love. We focus on the temporal rather than the divine. Because of disordered passions, we tend to love the wrong things and the wrong people for the wrong reasons. When we do turn our affection towards God and the divine, it is only half-heartedly, with divided attention and distracted hearts. When we delve into the Immaculate Heart of Mary, not only do we find the remedy. Not only do we find the exemplar, the perfect model of how to love. We also find a Mother whose anxious care is to make it happen in our own lives, and whose own infectious and efficacious love is like a magnetic force that draws us to her Divine Son. Read more…

Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

Our June letter finds us in midst of the “Summer Feasts” – a full and busy season in Carmel. In midst of our many ordinary duties, we have the privilege of praying the Offices and chanting the Masses for one Feast Day after another. As we mentioned earlier, we presently find ourselves between two Feasts that are truly gems of the treasure of the Liturgical year: Corpus Christi and Sacred Heart. Unique in that Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself inspired and demanded their celebration, they proclaim doctrinal truth and express the love and adoration of God’s children in the truth.

In WEBSITE NEWS we have several new items to share, as well as some beautiful reading recommendations for more information on the Sacred Heart and the Holy Eucharist.

In COMMUNITY NEWS we share an abundance of pictures, including the building of our new outdoor St. Therese shrine. Read More….

The Way of the Cross

The Way of the Cross

During this time of fasting and penance, the Church allows us to pause to celebrate the great St. Joseph. A very Happy Feast Day to all of you from all of us here at Carmel!

We take this opportunity to take a deeper look at the Stations of the Cross, their history, importance, and how to pray them. Read more…

All Saints of Carmel

All Saints of Carmel

As the liturgical year comes to a close, this presentation of all of the victors in the Heavenly court not only honors God’s work in them, but is meant to spur us on and give us courage during this “last lap” of the Liturgical Year. Holy Mother Church directs our gaze to the end of time, to the end of our time at our death. But she also puts before us all of these holy examples of people just like ourselves – full of human weakness, besought by trouble and sorrows, tempted by the world and the devil – as a compelling lesson and encouragement.

We also have many new products to share for Advent and Christmas Read More….

Prophet of Carmel

Prophet of Carmel

St. Elias was given an inconceivable mission, to stand as God’s faithful and true servant in a society that was crumbling into paganism and sin; and to call the fallen Israelites back to the true worship of God. Certainly, the same can be said of the true Christian’s mission in today’s world. The errors are the same. The enemies are the same. The challenge is the same. And the prayerful, faithful fight and victory must be the same. We must pray in the spirit of Elias.

In WEBSITE NEWS introduce a new style of Brown Scapular we designed to honor the founder of Carmel. We also introduce our new handcrafted incense sticks. Read More….
