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.
