The King’s Interior Dwelling: A Carmelite Look on Prayer

“If we reflect, sisters, we shall see that the soul of the just man is but a paradise, in which, God tells us, He takes His delight. What do you imagine, must be that dwelling be in which a King so mighty, so wise, and so pure, containing in Himself all good, can delight tor rest? […] and the door by which we must enter this castle is prayer.” – St Teresa of Avila

How shall I enter this castle? Or maybe the better question is: “How do I pray?”

In next week’s Faith Formation Session, Julian will attempt to shine a light on just a bit of the immense wealth located in the Carmelite spiritual treasury, and how it can help us with our prayer lives.

If you have these questions, this session is for you!:

  • What is Prayer?
  • Who are the Carmelites? What is the Carmelite Spirituality?
  • How do I grow in prayer?

The talk will take place on 12/11 (Tue), 19:30 @ the Brick Room!

Drawn by desire – An introduction to the Mass

“We may not even be aware of it, but every time we go to Mass, the first reason is that we are drawn there by Jesus’ desire for us” (Pope Francis, Desiderio desideravi, 6).

The liturgy is the most central part of our lives as Catholics, and especially in the Mass we experience the amazing gift of God giving himself to us.

On five Tuesdays, we will explore the deeper meaning of what we celebrate in the Mass. Using “Desiderio desideravi”, a beautiful document on the liturgy published by Pope Francis in 2022, as a starting point, Fr. Daniel will introduce us to the meaning of the Mass.

Dates: 10/9, 17/9, 24/9, 1/10, 8/10. We meet at 7:30 pm in the Englesal.

Come join us in discovering and understanding more about the Mass, and see how you can take actively part in making our CAYAC Sunday masses even more solemn and beautiful.

It is our hope that these meetings will help us found a liturgy group that will take care of the shaping of our Masses. But everyone who is just curious about Mass are welcome to join the meetings.
