Gone but not forgotten…

We are approaching the great feasts of remembrance – and what a powerful and important gift remembrance is!

Most of us have experienced loss in our lives, including the loss of special people who formed or shaped us, or who brought richness and joy into our lives. Often, these losses leave us adrift in a sea of grief – disconnected, uncertain, unsettled – and focused on the hole in our lives where these loved ones once stood.

And so I invite each of you, whether you are able to join us or not, to provide us with the names and intentions you would like the Carmelites to pray for at the Mass and during November. You can send the names of your loved ones to fundraising@carmelites.org.au. The Carmelites live lives of prayer and service – this is our gift to the Church and to the people of God. No payment is required to lodge mass intentions or prayer requests. Of course, tax-deductible donations are always welcome to support our programs of mission and formation – and if you are able to make a donation these would, of course, be most welcome.
