Jesus does not ask for great feats,
only abandonment and gratitude.
Saint Therese of the Child Jesus
These words of Saint Therese give meaning to our whole life as contemplatives, a life woven in the simplicity of daily life, at the never-finished school of Love.
Liturgical and personal prayer are the pillars that support and mark our days: around the Tabernacle we grow as a community and in friendship with Christ, under the mantle of the Virgin Mary.
"Nothing better expresses
the love present in the Heart of God
than the Eucharist:
it is the union, the consummation,
it is He in us and we in Him"
Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity
To the two hours of personal prayer, a heart-to-heart encounter with the divine Spouse, correspond two hours of "recreation", a fraternal community meeting that Teresa of Jesus wanted for her communities of Discalced Carmelites.
“The more holy they are, the more gracious they are towards their sisters…
This is what we must strive for:
to be affable and agreeable and to please
those with whom we deal,
especially our sisters.
Saint Teresa of Jesus
As the poor and with the poor, for us too “work is participation in the work that God the Creator accomplishes in the world” (Vultum Dei quaerere, 32). Always grateful to Divine Providence which never ceases to take care of us, we live from the work of our hands, whether in the activities required by the contemplative life, or in the making of religious, artisanal and pastry articles.
"Help yourselves with the work of your hands,
as Saint Paul did, for the Lord
will provide you with what is necessary."
Saint Teresa of Jesus, Const
