Have we begun to prepare for it? And what more might we do?

Impact will be a more personal and spiritual relationship with the priests.
Role models in community so the kids will discern any calling for vocation
Need more spiritual directors.
We can prepare through prayers and encouragement to our youth.
We are going to grow but in growing will lose intimacy of relationship.
Prefer a smaller community.
Active role in the parish to talk about vocation. Pray for increase in priestly vocations.
Be active models in our family and live our lives according to the gospel, we should not forget our Carmelite vocation of prayer in this spiritual warfare.
- Study Carmelite teachings, adoration and attending Mass, reading sacred scriptures.
- Need more Carmelite priests to guide us in our journey; spiritual directors.
- Secular Carmelites have the obligation for apostolic work, charity in action.
- The secular order is growing because it’s the desire of the Blessed Mother for the secular order to grow to support our religious brothers and sisters, not only spiritually but also materially.
- Be a good example to everyone, as God has said, “Love one another as I have loved you.”
