MEXICO CITY: VII NATIONAL MEETING OF THE CARMELITES

On the 14th, 15th and 16th of March the VII National Meeting of the Carmelites was held in Mexico City, with the participation of the great Mexican Carmelite Family: Brothers, OCDS, laity, etc. from the communities that make up the Province of Saint Albert.

The Provincial, Fr. Cándido Celestino González, invited the participants to make this meeting not only an experience of conviviality, but above all an authentic experience of God, and to discover the depth of our love for our vocation and our creativity at the service of others.

The formative dynamic of the meeting was centred on an in-depth study of great figures important to our Order and our spirituality, such as Anne of Jesus, Anne of Saint Bartholomew, Mary of Saint Joseph and our brother, the Servant of God, Father Salvador Rivera, known as “Father Chavita”.

The participants shared times of reflection, study, fraternal fellowship, prayer and the celebration of the Eucharist. We give thanks to God for this time of grace.
