The Discalced Carmelites (OCD) are holding a renewal course for Carmelite Friars in the Spanish language, beginning at the end of November 2011 and concluding in February 2012. They have kindly left a few places for O.Carm. friars and in their letter of invitation they state: "Our aim is to place at the disposal of the whole Carmelite family Mount Carmel, the Cradle of the Order and its unique context of the Holy Bible for our spiritual renewal and nourishment. The Course will harmoniously blend the Biblical and Carmelite dimensions of the spiritual life though prayer, study, Lectio Divina and pilgrimage." Those friars interested should make contact directly with Secretariat for Formation of the Casa Generalizia dei Carmelitani Scalzi Esta dirección de correo electrónico está siendo protegida contra los robots de spam.
