The Thirty-day Retreat in the Carmelite Tradition Ivan Cormac Marsh

Although originally written for men preparing for solemn vows in the Carmelite Order, this Thirty-Day Retreat can be used for Carmelite nuns, sisters, and Carmelite laity with little or no adaptation. The individual Carmelite experiences the tremendous spiritual wealth of the Order during such a retreat. One's spiritual life will have the opportunity to grow and increase under the watchful eye of a seasoned Carmelite skilled to lead one on this pilgrimage of thirty days. The director will also experience the spiritual wealth of such a long in this pilgrimage of thirty days. Fortified in the faith and in the Carmelite traditions, these individuals can have an effect in their own Carmelite communities locally and in the ministries in which they are involved.
