Together in Christ
Please join us as we pray for the success of the ARISE in Christ program in our parish and diocese.
Gracious God and Father, We enter into your presence realizing you know us better than we know ourselves. You know the cares and sufferings we carry in our hearts. You call us to holiness and we trust you to lead us together on our journey to be a renewed Church, for with you all things are possible. Create us anew in Jesus Christ your Son. Liberate us from all that keeps us from you. Heal us form every form of sin and violence. Transform us to live your Word more profoundly.
Awaken us to the sacred; rebuild trust among us. Enliven our parishes; reunite our families. May your Holy Spirit empower us to live as a community of love, freed to share in your work of recreating our world and restoring justice. We believe you are doing something new, calling us to arise together in Christ to celebrate the fullness of life. Amen.

Do you have a call to the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites? Secular Carmelites are Catholic Men and Women, whether married or single, lay or clerical, who follow a Rule of Life and a formation program that fosters Carmelite tradition under the protec-tion of Mary, Queen of Carmel. They do this according to the teachings of St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross in a way appropriate for lay persons.
