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.

Finding Comfort in the Crucifix during Holy Week
•
ICS Publications
What do you see when you look at a crucifix?
Is it guilt? Indifference? Or can it become your greatest comfort?
In this reflection, we explore the powerful mystery at the heart of the Christian faith: the Crucified Christ. With the help of St. Thérèse of Lisieux—who clung to the cross in life and in death. We reflect on why this image is not a symbol of defeat, but of victorious love.
This is not a sentimental meditation. It’s a deep look at the comfort only Christ can give—comfort that reaches into our suffering, our fear of death, and our longing to be loved.
