Grief is an emotional response when we lose someone or something we love.

Fresh violence erupted unexpectedly in the Holy Land on Saturday, when Palestinian Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on Israel, firing hundreds of rockets and making armed incursions into Israel.

In this Sunday’s parable, the message could not be simpler: action speaks louder than words.

Fr Amandio Soares Salsinha celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving in his home parish of Railaco last Sunday, 23 September.

Carmelites were present at the Ignite Conference in Brisbane, a youth and young adult festival held over 3 days, 21-24 September.

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.
