"Each one of you is to stay in his own cell or nearby, pondering the Lord's law day and night and keeping watch at his prayers unless attending to some other duty." ~ Carmelite Rule [10]

God, our Father

by the celebration of this Lent,

a Sacramental sign of our conversion,

grant us, your faithful people,

the nourishment of recognizing the mystery Christ,

that we may be a testimony of your love,

We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
