From 11 to 21 July, the Carmelite Secular Order of the Province of St. Joseph, South-east Brazil, organized a new Cycle of Formation under the auspices of the Edith Stein Institute, in conjunction with a Retreat on Carmelite Prayer.\u00a0 The respective themes were: \u201cCarmel, a living font of prayer\u201d and \u201cThe Pathway of Carmelite Prayer\u201d.\u00a0 Meetings were held at the Centre of Carmelite Spirituality of St. Roque, in the State of Sao Paolo.<\/p>\n

Both the Formation Session and the Retreat were focused on prayer.\u00a0 This was in correspondence with\u00a0 the invitation of Pope Francis to make the year 2024 a great \u201csymphony of prayer\u201d, to rediscover the desire to stand in the presence of the Lord, to listen to and adore Him.<\/p>\n

The conferences were given by the following Discalced Carmelite Friars: Patricio Sciadini, Alzinir Debastiani, Iludson and Henrique Siqueira, members of OCDS, Deacon Carlos Almeida and Signora Gilcivania Pinheiro.<\/p>\n

For ten days, more than sixty people were immersed in the writings of St. Teresa of Jesus, St. John of the Cross and other Carmelite saints.\u00a0 They also spent time in prayer, silence, mutual sharing and fraternal communion.<\/p>\n
