Carmel of St. Teresa
Discalced Carmelite Nuns
The Vocation of the Discalced Carmelite Nun is a gift from God. Each one of us was brought here by Our Lord for the same purpose of belonging to Him in a contemplative life of prayer. Our calls, moreover, are personally unique.
We go through a stage of initial formation which lasts for about 9 years: one year of Aspirancy, one year of Postulancy, two years of Novitiate, after which we make our Simple Vows for three years and rewew our Vows for 2 more years before making Solemn Vows.
Our formation, nevertheless, does not stop there; it is ongoing as our relationship with Christ is developed and deepened through silence, solitude, prayer and the support of the community. Our life is a daily saying "yes" to God; and our prayer time makes us sensitive to the voice of God within us.
