What
We Do
|
For
us as Carmelites, there is only one “doing”: always to return
to our inmost center, seeking him whom we love.
It is in this doing that every other doing finds its value
and meaning, every other achievement its proper place, every other
action its rightful orientation. |
|
What
we do all day, every day, is love.
Everything becomes an act of love: the Liturgy of the Hours, the
washing of the dishes, the care of an elderly sister, the preparation of
the music, the mending of a Habit, the arranging of a bouquet for the
chapel or for a sister’s birthday, the cooking of a meal, the laughter
of a community get-together, the ready forgiveness in a misunderstanding,
the fidelity to ongoing community meetings, the stimulation of creative
outlets or intellectual interests, feeding the cats, the hummingbirds and
the canyon wildlife, watering the garden, sleeping through the alarm in
the morning—everything is an act of love, given to God who in taking it
to be his own makes it his act of love, filled with the wealth of his
grace that is then poured out as divine life onto a world desperately in
need of it.
