Prayer to Saint Teresa of Jesus
Saint Teresa of Jesus, holy mother, wholehearted servant of love, teach us to walk with determined fidelity along the path of interior prayer, attentive to the presence of the Blessed Trinity, the Lord, dwelling deep in us.
At the school of Mary our Mother, strengthen within us these foundations; a genuine humility, a heart free from attachment, and an unconditional love for others.
Share with us your intense apostolic love for the Church, May Jesus be our joy, our hope and energy, an unquenchable fountain and our most intimate friend.
Bless our Carmelite family. Teach us, make your prayer our own; “I am yours; I was born or you. What is your will for me? Amen.
Prayer during the Year of St. Joseph Dec. 8, 2020 – Dec. 8, 2021
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man. Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen

Prayer for New Carmelite Vocations
Lord Jesus Christ, You promised that if we agree to pray for anything in Your Name, You will do it for us. Through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Mount Carmel we ask You for the grace of good vocations. Give us young men and women of faith who are zealous to become Your strong friends and to faithfully serve as friars and nuns in the Discalced Carmelite Order. As you have in the past, awaken hearts to fervently desire You and to carry on the charism of Carmel – to glorify the Triune God in the company of Your Mother and to be love at the Heart of Your Church. Amen.
