The General Assembly of the Lay Carmelite Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary (historically known as the Third Order of Carmel, TOC) will be held in Fatima from February 25 to March 2, 2025.
The Committee for the event has prepared a prayer text that we can use to accompany in faith all participants who will be working for our Third Order.
Let us join in prayer that the assembly will be fruitful and fruitful!
Congress of Lay Carmelites
A few months ago, the Congress of Lay Carmelites was held in Rome from September 15-21, 2024 to Discuss Formation, Service, Fraternity and Prayer. Luis José Maza Subero, General Councilor, who is the liaison between the General Council and the International Secretariat of the Carmelite Laity, expressed the following at the closing of the Congress: “The Carmelite Order is promoting the role of the laity, an example of which was this Congress, in which our laity expressed themselves in the final paper. “Our Order has much to offer to the world, as Carmelites we have been able to live this Congress as a transforming experience, we return different from how we came, prayer and shared fraternity gives us strength for the mission; we have seen how the Spirit in our diversity, acts and urges us to move forward. We are not building for today. We are not working for tomorrow. We are forging a path for eternity”.
