Carmel is identified with meditation. I’m using the word meditation as opposed to the word contemplation because we know that most of us wait a long time before God gives us the gift of contemplation. So we meditate or do mental prayer if you would like to use that term.

Meditation is our daily devotion under the inspiration of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, who is our Lady of Meditation—it’s that way of relating to God that is specific to Carmel and Carmel’s love, devotion, and relationship with God.

So I put that in first place because we can do that no matter where we are.

Traditionally, we use about thirty minutes a day. It might be fifteen minutes in the morning and fifteen minutes in the afternoon, or it might be thirty minutes at one time. Sometimes it might be ten minutes three times a day depending on work or family schedules and other things.

We have to be practical but we are conscious of having to do that. We are conscious of wanting to do that. Common sense—that’s the Carmelite spirituality.

Father Aloysius Deeney, O.C.D.

The New OCDS Legislation and the Vocation to Carmel: 1. Meditation

Note: Father Deeney concludes by referring to the Carmelite Rule of St. Albert, which states in the final sentence: “See that the bounds of common sense are not exceeded, however, for common sense is the guide of the virtues” (Rule, 24).
