Carmelite QuotesAdvent Online Retreat: “Mariam, or the Way of the Lord’s Poor”
This year, Saint Mariam (Baouardy) of Jesus Crucified, the “little Arab” born in Palestine, will guide us on our Advent journey toward Christmas. Saint Mariam (1846-1878), a humble Carmelite who learned to read and write as an adult, founded Carmelite monasteries in India and the Holy Land. Her simple and radiant life, led by the Holy Spirit, invites us to let ourselves be loved and transformed by Jesus…
This online retreat was written by Fr. Didier Maury, OCD (from the convent in Avon, France), aided by a Carmelite working group. Carmelite Quotes provided the English translation. The English distribution is organized by Discalced Carmelite friars in the United States in collaboration with ICS Publications in Washington, DC.
Each Friday in your email inbox you’ll receive:
● A meditation on the Gospel and quotes from the Saint
● Practical suggestions to enrich your prayer
● A brief video from our Carmelite friars on the weekly theme
● An Advent calendar with prayer starters for each day
You can also follow the retreat on our Facebook page: Carmelite Retreat Online
