Our goal here is simply to talk about the spiritual life from a Carmelite perspective - something that we already do in the monastery on a regular basis. Through this podcast, we hope to open the conversation up for you to listen and join in. We’re by no means experts on these topics, but we believe that our Carmelite tradition and saints have a lot to offer to those seeking to grow closer to God.

St Joe Carmelite ,

Living Flame of Love study edition

I recently visited St John of the Cross convent in Segovia Spain. Then I read this book. I love the book. I also enjoyed your discussions as a recap of each section of the book. So enlightening. I love the study editions of the Carmelite Saints it brings a greater understanding for growing spiritually. Please do more.
Thank you!!

us!
