Let us remember in our prayers today the souls of our Carmelite brothers and sisters who went ahead of us. These are souls who may have once belonged to our community, whom we may have met during retreats, recollections, and other community events. They are brothers and sisters whom we may have laughed with, cried with and loved in the spirit of Carmelite fraternity. They are souls who, by the grace of God, touched our lives and the whole Carmelite family.
May our Heavenly Mother of Carmel, Star of the Sea, bring relief to the souls most dear to us, and them ever closer to the august presence of the Most Holy Trinity forever.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls rest peacefully in the love of the Most Triune God.
"Devotion to the memory of the dead is one of the most beautiful expressions of the Catholic spirit". - Pope Saint John XXIII.
