Christmas Greetings

christmas22 450pHappy Christmas
from the Carmelites of Australia
and Timor-Leste 

The Carmelites of Australia and Timor-Leste wish you
a very happy Christmas and thank you for your friendship
and support throughout this year. 

 
At Christmas we reflect on the mystery of 'God with us'
in the person of Jesus, born in one moment of time
so that God can be born in every moment of time through us. 


May you and your loved ones have a safe, happy and blessed Christmas.

I see with more clarity that is always Christmas for me,
that, just like that night,
Mary the Mother of the Lord, accompanied by St Joseph,
still goes around from house to house,
that is, from heart to heart,
to find a place where Jesus can be reborn.

St Titus Brandsma O.Carm. December 1922

Carmelite Rule

A rule of life was given to the early Carmelites by St Albert Avogadro, Patriach of Jerusalem between the years 1206 - 1214. It was finally approved by Pope Innocent in 1247 and later underwent mitigations which were not in the original text.

The Carmelite Rule states that is basic for a Carmelite to "live a life of allegiance to Jesus Christ - how, pure in heart and stout in conscience, he must be unswerving in the service of his Master" [no.2].

Safeguarding

The Carmelites of Australia and Timor-Leste are committed to the protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults from all forms of abuse and mistreatment.
