PRAYER OF DEDICATION

God, our Father, You hear the petitions of those who faithfully serve you. St. Therese trusted that “You would fulfill her will in heaven, since she always fulfilled Your will on earth.” Through her love for You, I beg you to hear the prayer which I raise up to you with confidence.

Lord Jesus, Son of God and our Savior, Saint Therese devoted her life on earth for the salvation of souls and wished “to do good on earth from heaven”. Accept as well my dedication to you.

Holy Spirit, fountain of grace and love, in your guiding action, you granted St. Therese the gift of Divine Love, and she responded to it with generosity of heart. Now, as she intercedes for us in heaven, I beg You, O Spirit of Consolation, to inspire my prayer and grant me all the graces I need.

Our Father... , Glory be to the Father…

The beauty of Mount Carmel and the spiritual traditions of this place are the reasons why in the thirteenth century our religious family is born in the Church. Surrounding peace and solitude, meditation on the Word of God and work are the values uniting the hermits of Carmel around Mary, their sister and mother. In the sixteenth century thanks to the efforts of Saint Teresa of Jesus and Saint John of the Cross, we focus on new aspects and a special tasks related to the teaching of prayer. Today we do it in various ways through: retreats, days of recollection, catechesis, scientific and publishing activities, running retreat homes, parishes and sanctuaries as well as missionary work.

In all of this, however, we are called above all to prayer which is life, and to teaching life to be a prayer!
