Carmelite Advent Retreat for 2020
Directed by the Discalced Carmelite Friars
Dear friends, we invite you to experience this Advent in a spirit of communion through an online retreat prepared especially for you by the Discalced Carmelite friars.
If you have registered already and received the meditations from one of our previous retreats, you do not need to register again.
However, don’t hesitate to extend an invitation to your friends and acquaintances so that they can register using the form on the website:
www.retreat-online.karmel.at
We suggest that you share this link with your Christian community, parish, ecclesial movement, association, or prayer group. You also can promote this initiative through social media.
Printable posters are available, too.
Inviting others to pray through the retreat is an excellent way to evangelize and witness to your faith.
This Advent, we embark on a journey of faith in the impossible with the mystic and woman of action, Blessed Mary of the Incarnation, who was the foundress of the Discalced Carmelite nuns in France, better known to many of us as Madame Acarie.
At the end of November you will receive the introductory text of this retreat. Then you will receive the meditations for each of the 4 weeks of Advent and Christmas, with the following themes:
The online retreat is free of charge. You can register or unsubscribe at any time.
If you have any difficulty in receiving the meditations, please send an email to:
retreat-online@karmel.at
With this invitation to the online retreat, we extend our sincere wishes for a blessed Advent!
