WELCOME TO THE SECULAR ORDER OF DISCALCED CARMELITESThis book is a collection of Fr. Aloysius Deeney's conferences presented to the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelite (OCDS) members worldwide. The author is notable for his enormous understanding and knowledge about the Secular branch of the Order. Though his most practical and insightful talks are primarily directed to OCDS members, this is a "must read" book for all of those who are interested in the lay branch of the Order of Discalced Carmelites, Carmelite spirituality, or lay monasticism in general. "The spirituality of the Discalced Carmelites invites continual study. Any person who wants to be a Discalced Carmelite must be a person with an interest in learning and assimilating the spirit of the teachers of Carmel. This is the beginning of an attitude that is open to learning and practice. A Carmelite who does not have the interest in studying or deepening the root of his/her identity through prayer and study soon loses his/her identity." Fr. Aloysius Deeney OCD, is currently serving as the General delegate for the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites. Fr. Aloysius was born in Philadelphia, PA, and was ordained in 1974. He pursued his study in Carmelite spirituality in Avila, Spain. He served as Provincial of the Oklahoma Province from 1990-1998. He is the main architect in formulating and implementing the Constitutions of the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelite Order (OCDS). Price: $10.00 |
