CarmelCast
Our goal here is simply to talk about the spiritual life from a Carmelite perspective - something that we already do in the monastery on a regular basis. Through this podcast, we hope to open the conversation up for you to listen and join in. We’re by no means experts on these topics, but we believe that our Carmelite tradition and saints have a lot to offer to those seeking to grow closer to God.

Your dignity as a human being surpasses all creation—you are made for union with God. St. Thérèse of Lisieux not only believed this but lived it daily, longing so ardently for this union that she desired to die of love.
Raised in a deeply devout family, she entered Carmel at 15, embracing her “Little Way”—a path of confidence, love, and offering every sacrifice for God.
At 24, through suffering and darkness of faith, she remained steadfast, surrendering herself completely. Her final words, “My God, I love You!”, sealed a life of radical love. Now a Doctor of the Church, she guides souls to holiness, showering roses from heaven.
