A challenge to LIVE our life of prayer, community and mission with determination: let us take courage to be witnesses of God’s action because there is no time to waste…

The three fundamental elements of the Teresian charism are prayer, fraternity, and mission. However, what truly characterizes
it is the fact that all three are intrinsically linked and do not make sense independently but call upon one another.

The mission of our religious family is unique and unifying, intimately linked to the primacy of the search for union with God
in prayer. From this source radiates the apostolic and social work carried out by the Order in many forms and in many nations of the world.

Friendship with God is personal, but in no way individualistic. One cannot live it alone. For this reason, the Teresian charism has a strong community dimension. In Teresa’s experience and teaching, the fraternity with its joys and labors is an indispensable help in realizing our vocation as friends of God.

Our communion with the Lord gives meaning and vigor to our charismatic life. It must be cultivated and nourished every day so that the flame of love is not extinguished, and life does not become gray and routine.

We are convinced that the Teresian vision of the human person demonstrates its relevance in the face of humanity’s search for meaning and happiness today.

Jesus and Teresa teach us a new way of life. This is a process that lasts our whole life and is primarly made in a community. How to make it work?

Who are we as Carmelites? What is our Carmelite-Teresian identity and charism? How to live it in our HERE and TODAY? How to renew it through understanding and expressing it? Let us journey together deepening and discerning the will of God for us!
