DISCALCED CARMELITE FRIARS in Kenya, like Brother Harrison Irungu, O.C.D., raise livestock
to support themselves. Work is an important part of Carmelite life.
melite aims to have a loving care for
God’s people, holding all their needs
in the heart of their prayer.
Carmelite prayer
Unlike many other spiritual tradi-
tions in the church, Carmelite prayer
offers no “method,” no specific steps
or stages for the praying person to
follow. That can be very freeing but
also frustrating for 21st-century peo-
ple looking for evidence of “success”
and results even in their relationship
with God.
