The Eucharist and the Word of God are the two pillars of Carmelite Spirituality.
To read the word of God in the spirit of Carmel is to pray it with the heart of Mary. This means that as she, more than anyone, listened to and welcomed the word of God, we too should listen to and welcome the word of God in our life. As St. John of the Cross wrote so beautifully: “The Mother gazed in sheer wonder” (R 9).
Carmelite Spirituality is a spirituality of the Word of God.
