VOCATIONS
-
A vocation to Carmel is a gift from God. A woman who enters Carmel goes through a stage of initial formation which lasts for nine years. This time of discernment for both her and the community will help them to see if she can live within a cloistered, contemplative Order. Formation, however, does not end with Solemn Profession; it is a life long process. Our life is a daily saying 'yes' to God and our prayer time makes us sensitive to the voice of God within us.

In our time, when the powerlessness of all natural means for battling the overwhelming misery everywhere has been demonstrated so obviously, an entirely new understanding of the power of prayer, of expiation, and of vicarious atonement has again awakened… there is a blazing demand for contemplative monasteries whose entire life is devoted to prayer and expiation.
