The Carmelite charisma is essentially based on three elements: prayer, community, and service. They appear like vectors that guide the transforming spiritual journey of Carmelites. In mathematics, three basic vectors result into a three dimensional space, or geographical framework, in which physical reality happens. |

Introduction In many parts of Peru parishes are made up of small rural communities. Each community has a patron saint and is generally guided by catechists. The priest visits periodically, generally for the feast of the patron and for the celebration of marriages and baptisms. Over recent decades a new style of community has developed, a committed Christian community that is part of the continent-wide birth of basic ecclesial communities. |

www.ocarm.org When people ask us, “Who are you? What do you do?” we reply “We are friars - we are mendicants.” Being mendicant is an integral part of our calling as Carmelites; it recalls our origins and also has serious implications for our work for justice, peace and the integrity of creation. Carmelites are part of that Renewed Energy that touched the Church and society in the latter part of the 12th century. |
