So it is also in community. Oneness of mind and heart is most important. We know that our belief in Christ and his Church is what brings us together and helps us to grow in the love of God and for one another. This is why in unity there is strength. In the sharing of our spiritual and natural talents in community, we bring Christ a rich harvest .
Community can also be a source of support for our personal limitations.
We are encouraged by our Sisters to persevere in striving for holiness. Prayer Carmel is prayer . Carmel is contemplation. And contemplation is talking to God as with a friend. At prayer, we are fed with the spiritual food that will strengthen us throughout the day.
