We Carmelites seek the presence of God and call others to a deep connection with our Lord through our evangelical vows of chastity, poverty and OBEDIENCE.
The Rule consisted of sixteen articles, which enjoined strict obedience to their prior, residence in individual cells, constancy in prayer, and the hearing of Mass.
In keeping with the Carmelite tradition, the Carmelite monks profess the evangelical counsels by making vows of obedience, chastity, and poverty to God.
For the Carmelite Community, obedience corrects and purifies the relationship with God.
We exercise evangelical obedience “by being open to will of God”, in whom we imitate Jesus, Mary, and Joseph who were obedient to Father in everything.
The Carmelite reform of the nuns and the friars are due to St. Teresa's initiative under the impulse of the Holy Spirit and in obedience to the Magisterium of the Church.
This community of Carmelite hermits live a hidden life of silence and prayer and obedience to their Superior and their place within the Religious Community.
Carmelites take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience to help them grow in their freedom to serve God and their neighbour.
The vow of obedience leads the nun to imitate the obedience of Jesus Christ. Carmelite Seculars, together with the Friars and Nuns, take the promise of obedience to live open to the will of God.
