FORMATION
Remember the six obligations that direct the Secular Carmelite’s life:
1. Meditation. A suggestion is 30 minutes each day.
​
2. Morning Prayer. Evening Prayer and, if possible, Night Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours.
​
3. Mass. Daily, if possible.
​
4. Mary. Every day, Seculars express devotion to Mary. Their primary devotion is to imitate Mary in “reflecting on [all these things] in her heart” (Luke 2:19).
​
5. Meetings. Seculars are called to communities whose members have made a commitment to one another. Meetings consist of formation, information and fellowship.
​
6. Mission. Seculars share in the Carmelite mission of knowing God so God can be known.
