Carmelite Monastery

JM+JT
On this Ash Wednesday, we begin our Lenten journey, embracing the beauty of God's grace. 'Return to me with all your heart.' (Joel 2:12) As we mark our foreheads with ashes, may we remember our fragility and God's mercy. May ashes remind us of our earthly journey and the hope of resurrection.

May this season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving draw us closer to God and deepen our love for one another. God bless us in our journey!✝️🙏💒

With Minor Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

We are all called to be saints even when we don’t feel qualified.
