March 6, 2006 Dear Carmelites, in October, 2002, Shortly After March 6, 2006 Dear Carmelites, In October, 2002, shortly after assuming my responsibilities as Provincial Delegate, I called together a representative group of presidents of local OCDS communities for the purpose of identifying the needs of the Secular Carmelites for the coming years. The following January, we held a meeting of the directors of formation, in order to understand what was happening with regard to formation throughout the province at that time, and to learn from them the ways in which I might assist the local communities with their formation needs. That meeting gave rise to the establishment of the provincial task force on formation, which was charged with the task of writing uniform formation guidelines for the communities and groups within the province. The task force is composed of myself and ten definitively professed members of the Order, selected from nominations made by the presidents and group leaders. We sought to establish good geographical representation of the province on the task force as well as a balance of range of experience. The other members of the task force are: Mary Lou Cereghino from West Covina, California; Doreen Glynn-Pawski from San Francisco; Toni Hagey, from Las Vegas; Rebecca Lambert, then with the Eugene, Oregon community and now with the Sacramento, California community; Thomas Moore from the Coeur d’Alene, Idaho community, and secretary for extended members; Cindy Sliger, from Seattle, Washington; Theresa Thomas from Berkeley, California; Mary Tucker from San Jose, California; Sharon Young from Denver, Colorado; and Pat Thibodeaux, who was then serving as my secretary. Theresa agreed to serve as coordinator. The task force held its first meeting in August, 2003 at our House of Prayer in Oakville, California, and has met quarterly since then, despite the great distances various members needed to travel and other obstacles that had to be overcome. After our Constitutions were adopted, Fr. Aloysius Deeney, General Delegate, asked all the provinces to write formation programs to be adopted by the OCDS Provincial Councils as part of the local statutes under the Constitutions. We were already well on our way with this important work. It was clear at that point, however, that the task force should answer to our OCDS Provincial Council from then on. Accordingly, last Spring the task force presented a draft of its work to the Provincial Council for suggestions. In this volume we are pleased to present to you on behalf of the task force the fruit of our labor. Your experience in implementing these Guidelines will probably bring to light many ways in which they can be improved, but now we have a foundation on which to build. Please join us in praising and thanking God for this new expression of his loving care for our Carmelite vocations. Sincerely, in Christ, Father Patrick Sugrue, OCD Chris Hart, OCDS Provincial Delegate President, Provincial Council ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The members of the task force on formation gratefully acknowledge the assistance we have received in the course of our work on these Guidelines. This includes all the authors whose articles appear here and in the Formation Readings, and our brothers and sisters in Canada who gave us permission to quote extensively from the Canadian OCDS Manual of Formation. This also includes the Carmelite Institute, a joint effort of the entire Carmelite family in the United States and Canada, whose mission is to promote the following of Jesus Christ through studies in the Carmelite tradition, who gave us permission to reprint the Bibliography included in the Formation Readings CD. We are also compelled to acknowledge those who went before us, whose work – for example, in the Five Year Formation Readings – formed us in Christ, and enabled us to conceive and bring to fulfillment the present work. In this regard, we would like especially to acknowledge the efforts of the provincial delegates who have shepherded the OCDS in the California- Arizona Province of St. Joseph so well: Father Bonaventure Galvin, OCD, Father Michael Buckley, OCD, and Father Patrick Sugrue, OCD. We would be very remiss not to mention the prayerful assistance of our current Provincial, Very Reverend Father Gerald Werner, OCD, and our General Delegate, Very Reverend Father Aloysius Deeney, OCD. We need to thank our OCDS Provincial Council, especially its president, Chris Hart, who quietly contributed as much as any task force member, and our local communities for their spiritual and material support. We also wish to acknowledge the sacrifices made by our families to enable us to complete this work. In these sacrifices, our families may have contributed even more than we ourselves to the fulfillment of this task. Nor do we want to omit mention of the spiritual assistance received through Our Holy Mother St. Teresa of Jesus, Our Holy Father, St. John of the Cross, and all the Carmelite saints who have gone ahead of us. Lastly, and most importantly, we ask you to join us in praising and thanking God, whose Holy Spirit guided us at every step, and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, without whose maternal care and protection we would not have had the courage to begin. 7/21/06 iii 7/21/06 iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Introductory Letter . i Acknowledgments. iii Mission Statement . 1 Climbing the Mount in Response to God’s Call to Carmel . 2 Specifics for All Stages of Formation . 4 Stages of Formation. 9 Definitions. 9 Aspirancy. 11 Formation I . 14 Formation II. 18 Ongoing Formation . 22 Accountability . 27 Resources. 33 Essential Resources . 33 Supplemental Resources . 34 Websites of Interest . 38 Carmelite Periodicals. 39 Articles. 41 Discernment of OCDS Vocation . 43 The Beatitudes as Integral Part of the Promise . 51 Scriptural Meditation. 69 Our First Duties as Carmelites. 75 Some Thoughts on the First Steps . 77 Impediments to Joining the Secular Order. 79 Saying No When the Call to Carmel Is Lacking . 81 Discernment. .83 Vows in the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites. .93A-1 Writing a Syllabus. .93A-9 Writing a Lesson Plan. .93A-12 7/21/06 v Practical Application of Lectio Divina for Carmelites. .93A-21 Study and the OCDS . 93A-25 Tools for Use in Formation. 95 Principles for Leading Discussions. 97 Teaching Methods and Principles for Assignments . 99 Models for Assignments . 101 Sample Fill-In-the-Blank Questions . 103 Sample Open-Ended Questions . 109 Excerpts from Canadian OCDS Manual of Formation . 123 Aspirant’s Self-Help Evaluation Sheet . 125 Self-Evaluation . 126 Points that Councillors May Want to Consider. 128 Guidelines for All Interviews . 129 Creative Adaptations . 135 Portrait of Successful Formation . 139 Organization charts. 149 Map. 149 National Council. 150 OCDS . 151 OCD Friars . 152 Liturgy of the Hours Instructions . 153 Liturgy of the Hours Card. 156 Sample Forms. 157 Roster. 159 Ceremonies Tracking Form. 160 Attendance Record . 161 Formation Assignments. 162 Formation Tracking Forms . 163 Aspirancy. 163 Formation I . 165 Formation II. 167 Formation Report. 170 Formation Review. 171 Aspirancy. 171 Formation I . 172 Formation II. 173 Bibliography. 174 7/21/06 vi MISSION STATEMENT It is the intent of these guidelines to assist in the development of an orderly formation program by identifying the core objectives for each phase of formation, specifying essential resources, and giving practical suggestions for a curriculum. The guidelines are not intended to impose burdensome requirements, but to aid groups and communities in developing a formation program that will achieve the end of introducing candidates to our way of life in a manner that will enable them to meet the challenges of an intimate relationship with God. Those communities who already have programs in place that work well for them will need to review them to ensure they are in compliance with all aspects of the uniform guidelines. Those groups and communities who are developing their programs will find that the guidelines minimize the burdens associated with developing a strong program of formation. 7/21/06 1 CLIMBING THE MOUNT IN RESPONSE TO GOD’S CALL TO CARMEL The Order of Discalced Carmelites, the seculars together with the friars and nuns, forms the nucleus of the great Teresian Carmelite family. The vocation to Carmel is a gift from God, a lived experience in which we all look to the Rule of St. Albert as our fundamental inspiration. Each branch of the Order has its own Constitutions, which interpret the Rule for its members. (OCDS Constitutions, Preface, par. 3 and 4) St. John of the Cross uses the image of a mountain, and its ascent, as a metaphor for the spiritual life of intimate friendship with God. This image is echoed by the Church in the words “… may the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother and Queen of Carmel, protect us and bring us to your holy Mountain, Christ our Lord.” (Mass of the Solemnity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Opening Prayer) Our life in Carmel is intended to help us in our ascent to this holy Mountain. It is the function of a community’s structured formation program to shape our response to God’s call to reach the summit. We are formed into community for aid and support on our ascent. The Blessed Trinity itself is a community of persons; no one can climb this Mountain alone. In the experience of community life we find the movement and guidance of the Holy Spirit, and a most effective way to grow in virtue. The call to “…be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt. 5:48) helps us to live three key principles of Carmel: to give ourselves entirely to God, to strive for purity of conscience, and to foster an intimate union with God.

  • Dear St. Martin of Tours Parish Family, with the COVID-19
    Recommended Reading May 2021 St. Martin of Tours Adult Education Committee Dear St. Martin of Tours Parish Family, With the COVID-19 restrictions that have been in place for the last year, the Adult Education Committee has been unable to offer the type of programming that we have in past years. In light of this reality, we have decided to put together a list of books compiled from those which Msgr. Tom, our deacons, and the Adult Education Committee members have found helpful in our respective faith journeys and which we hope could be useful for you as well. Titles on this list could also serve as summer reading since many of us will again be unable to take the type of family vacations that we have in the past. Additionally, our parish library, located in the Manning Center, has a very good collection of books which you may borrow. We sincerely hope that you find some of these titles to be spiritually nourishing and helpful for your personal faith journey. May God Bless you, The St. Martin of Tours Adult Education Committee Rich Furney, Jane Guido, Janine Hughey, Lisa Irwin, Kathi Lovell, Sue Maneikis, and Kathy Waldron Page 1 of 11 Recommended Reading May 2021 St. Martin of Tours Adult Education Committee Foundational Reading The Bible The Catholic Edition of any translation, usually denoted by CE, is preferable.

  • Spirituality of Dominican Monastic Life
    Dominican Monastic Life: Reflections (selected part of a dissertation text, copied with author’s permission) by Elizabeth Elive Chapter 3 Dominican Monastic Life: Ideal And Spirituality 3.1 A brief Historical Review 3.1.1 The general climate of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries Dominican monastic life came into being at a critical period in history when the old order of medieval society was fast changing and giving way to the emergence of new. Secular and ecclesiastical societies were experiencing what seemed a great upheaval as new institutions sprang into being to answer new needs. All sectors of society: political, economic, intellectual and religious, were experiencing the impact of the said upheaval, with their interaction itself accentuating it. In the political and economic milieu, feudalism was giving way to the rule by communes in a struggle by which the latter wrested power from feudal lords. The Church’s involvement in the feudal system brought the same struggle within it. Prelates and clerics, usually owners of large estates, found themselves actively engaged in protecting their rights against an encroaching commune to the sad neglect of their Christian flock. There was likewise a revival of intellectual interests in the 12th and 13th centuries. Latin translations of the Greek philosophers were making the latter’s teaching available to the West, and those who wanted to could avail themselves of this knowledge in the new universities springing up to answer this need. But interest was not limited to the philosophers. A general yearning for true religion and a revived interest in Scripture was manifesting itself among the ordinary Christian.

  • Contemplative Prayer Key Terms Related to Contemplative Prayer in Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross
    Study guide for Contemplative prayer Key Terms Related to Contemplative Prayer in Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross Consolations – a broad term referring to a variety of supernatural experiences with God. Also called “favors.” (What Charismatics might refer to as “encounters”). Contemplation – “a deep love communion with the triune God. By depth here we mean a knowing loving that we cannot produce but only receive. It is not merely a mentally expressed ‘I love You’. It is a wordless awareness and love that we of ourselves cannot initiate or prolong” (Dubay, Fire Within, 57). For John of the Cross, “The communication of God untied to the senses, or the particular, received passively by the spirit in an attitude of faith and love, of general loving attention. Also called mystical theology. May be referred to as infused because the soul receives it passively, just as one receives sunlight by doing no more than opening the shutters. Takes away the satisfaction associated with discursive [i.e., meditative] prayer” (See “Glossary of Terms” in The Collect Works of St. John of the Cross, 768.) Detachment – “The equivalent of poverty of spirit, refers to a freedom from the appetites [i.e., disordered longings/desires] so that the heart may be surrendered entirely to God in the union of faith, hope, and love” John of the Cross equates this to spiritual poverty (See “Glossary of Terms” in The Collect Works of St. John of the Cross, 768.) Faculties of the Soul – The three elements or operations of the human soul which make the soul human rather than animal.

October 14 Types of Prayer Pray without Ceasing October 21 How Does Mental Prayer Work? Equivalents of Mental Prayer October 28 Purification from Sin November 4 Cultivation of Virtues November 11 Summary and Review OPENING PRAYER Take, Lord, receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, my whole will, all that I have and all that I possess. You gave it all to me, Lord; I give it all back to you. Do with it as you will, according to your good pleasure. Give me your love and your grace; for with this I have all that I need. - St. Ignatius of Loyola St. Ignatius encouraged this prayer to all who were beginning the path of the Spiritual Life. This prayer is rooted in total abandonment to Divine Providence (God’s Will) and is a renunciation of all aspects of one’s self. INTRODUCTION The goal of this experience is to provide the participant a breakdown of the components of a Catholic Spiritual Life, sometimes known as Ascetic Theology. This will be a reflection on Ordinary Prayer. Unfortunately, Mystical Contemplation will be mostly left to another time. Each experience is intended to build on the previous one, but the spiritual life is not series of “steps” but an action of God and man that runs concurrently drawing all into One.

  • Lord You Want Me? All Of
    Lord, You Want Me? All of Me? Father Michael de Stoop P a g e | 1 Lord, You Want Me? A l l o f M e ? INTRODUCTION All people are called to be chaste, irrespective of their vocation. Even married people are called to be chaste which means they are sexually intimate within marriage alone and faithful to it; seek the good of their spouse (rather than their own gratification); and are open to life. Without chastity no one can faithfully live according to the image of God in whom we are made. God is a communion of Persons where the Father and the Son are committed to One another and seek nothing but the good of One another. Furthermore, just as the conception of life proceeds from the love between husband and wife, as we say in the Creed, the Holy Spirit eternally “proceeds from the Father and the Son.” Chastity also enables marriage to be a sacrament by which the loving bond between husband and wife is modelled upon and is an expression of Christ’s love for his Church. Some people are called to consecrate their chastity to Christ which means that they abstain from all forms of deliberate sexual pleasure. Why would they want to be celibate given that the vocation of marriage is so beautiful and profound? Why would they not want to have children? This booklet contains answers to these and other questions which are designed to help us see that consecrated chastity is no less striking and profound than marriage. So doing, this booklet will help us to understand what motivates religious sisters, priests, brothers, consecrated virgins, and hermits to make a vow of chastity and why diocesan priests and lay consecrated men and women freely choose to make a promise of celibacy.

Responding to calls for refashioning the priesthood, including proposals from the Amazonian Synod, two wise, spiritually astute pastors explain the biblical and spiritual role of the priesthood, celibacy, and genuine priestly ministry. Besides the crisis in the priesthood, this book is about the nature of the Church and of Christian discipleship. is is a book that all clergy and laity should read. It is powerful and personal—from the depths of their hearts. FDOHH .
