A Call to Holiness Young men in formation to become Carmelites share their personal call to become religious and what their life is like in the Carmelite pre-novitiate house at the beginning of their journey. Contemplation in Action Carmelite Fathers and Brothers talk about the richness of contemplative prayer in their active lives and in the lives of others, affording us a deeper understanding of Carmelite spirituality.
