The following words are remarks regarding some of the areas of continuing formation which we consider important for those who wish to continue growing in the ministry of spiritual direction.

Fraternity is the way that God, our Father, chose through His Son Jesus Christ for all people to reach salvation. Aware of the urgent need that every baptized person is called, the major superiors of the Americas have stressed the need for young religious, both formandi and formators,

Aware of the wide range of expectations which newly ordained Carmelites face and of the unique adjustment demanded by the transition from initial formation to daily ministry, the General Commission of Formation, together with the Province of Indonesia, organized an ongoing formation course for newly ordained Carmelites from November 16-21, 2015.

These are the Carmelite Topics for Formation:

• Programa de Formación: del “desierto” al “jardín” de Dios
• Actividades de Formacion al Carmelo Aspirantes. Postulantes. Prenovicios
• Staying in God’s Presence
• Formation of the Temporary Professed
• Formation Route
• Contemplative Tradition of the Carmelite Order
• 30-day Carmelite Retreat

The challenge for RELIGIOUS in this early part of the 21st century is to be men and women of integrity people who live their sexuality as consecrated celibates.  This is the call of the Gospel.
