​Our Spirituality

The Discalced Nuns of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary 
belong to the Carmelite Order reformed and renewed by St. Teresa of Avila. 
The Teresian Carmel integrates the Spirit and traditions of the Order, which is Christocentric, Marian, and Biblical with the apostolic and ecclesial spirit of a purely contemplative life.

Christ, the good shepherd

Jesus is our Divine Spouse and Intimate friend. We live a life of allegiance to Him as we strive to imitate His life and serve Him with a pure heart and a good conscience.
