Some of the Saints among many others that are revered

St. Teresa of Avila

Our foundational figure in Carmel, known for her mystical writings and reform of the Carmelite order.

Guided by You

Lord, grant that I may always allow myself to be guided by You,
always follow Your plans,
and perfectly accomplish Your Holy Will.
Grant that in all things, great and small,
today and all the days of my life,
I may do whatever You require of me.
Help me respond to the slightest prompting of Your Grace,
so that I may be Your trustworthy instrument for Your honour.
May Your Will be done in time and in eternity by me,
in me, and through me. Amen.

St. John of the Cross

Another cornerstone of Carmelite spirituality, recognized for his profound poetry and teachings on the soul's union with God.

Stillness of Soul

O Blessed Jesus,
give me stillness of soul in You.
Let Your mighty calmness reign in me.
Rule me, O King of Gentleness,
King of Peace.

St. Therese of Lisieux

Often called "The Little Flower," she embodies a simple yet profound approach to love and spirituality.

Miraculous Invocation to St. Therese

O Glorious St. Therese,
whom Almighty God has raised up to aid
and inspire the human family,
I implore your Miraculous Intercession.

You are so powerful in obtaining every need
of body and spirit from the Heart of God.
Holy Mother Church proclaims you “Prodigy of Miracles…
the greatest saint of Modern Times.”

Now I fervently beseech you to answer my petition
(mention in silence here)
and to carry out your promises of
spending heaven doing good on earth…
of letting fall from Heaven a Shower of Roses.

Little Flower, give me your childlike faith,
to see the Face of God
in the people and experiences of my life,
and to love God with full confidence.

St. Therese, my Carmelite Sister,
I will fulfill your plea “to be made known everywhere”
and I will continue to lead others to Jesus through you.

Amen.

St. Edith Stein (St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross)

A martyr and philosopher, her contributions to both theology and philosophy are deeply honored.

Prayer of St Theresa Benedicta

O Prince of Peace, to all who receive You, You bright light and peace. Help me to live in daily contact with You, listening to the words You have spoken and obeying them. O Divine Child, I place my hands in Yours; I shall follow You. Oh, let Your divine life flow into me.

I will go unto the altar of God. It is not myself and my tiny little affairs that matter here, but the great sacrifice of atonement. I surrender myself entirely to Your divine will, O Lord. Make my heart grow greater and wider, out of itself into the Divine Life.

O my God, fill my soul with holy joy, courage and strength to serve You. Enkindle Your love in me and then walk with me along the next stretch of road before me. I do not see very far ahead, but when I have arrived where the horizon now closes down, a new prospect will open before me and I shall met with peace.

How wondrous are the marvels of your love, We are amazed, we stammer and grow dumb, for word and spirit fail us.

St. Simon Stock

Recognized for his role in the early development of the Carmelite order, particularly for the devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Prayer of St. Simon Stock: Flower of Carmel

O beautiful Flower of Carmel, most fruitful vine, Splendour of Heaven, holy and singular, who brought forth the Son of God, still ever remaining a Pure Virgin, assist me in this necessity. O Star of the Sea, help and protect me! Show me that you are my Mother.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!

Mother and Ornament of Carmel, pray for us!

Virgin, Flower of Carmel, pray for us!

Patroness of all who wear the Scapular, pray for us!

St Joseph, Friend of the Sacred Heart, pray for us!

St Joseph, chaste Spouse of Mary, pray for us!

St Joseph, our Patron, pray for us!

O sweet Heart of Mary, be our salvation!
