A contemplative attitude towards the world around us allows us to discover the presence of God in the events of ordinary daily life and especially, to see him in our brothers and sisters. Carmelite Constitution 19

"Lord, protect me and mine every hour of the day and night. Keep me close to You in thought, word and deed and away from situations which will separate me from You. Lord, You know my weaknesses - be my strength, You know my temptations - guide me only towards You, You know my sorrows - be my joy, You know my pain - be my relief. Help me to walk every minute of my time hand in hand with my guardian angel, eyes ever focussed on You."
