Prayer Requests

The Carmelite tradition could be understood as an 800 year commentary on The Song of Songs. This ancient love story in Hebrew scripture is a basic narrative capturing the experience of countless Carmelites. "The voice of my beloved! Look, he comes, leaping upon the mountains, bounding over the hills." (2,8) Thinking they were seeking an elusive God, they returned from their search with the conviction that God had been pursuing them all along in love. The yearning deep within the heart of the Carmelite has been revealed as the trace of an invitation, "Arise my love, my fair one, and come away." (2,10)

~ John Welch, O.Carm | Seasons of the Heart

It is this love that lives at the core of the Carmelite vocation, namely seeking the face of God for the sake of the church and of the entire world. As such, the Our Lady of Confidence and St. Joseph Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites participates in an apostolate of prayer.
