Carmelite Nuns

The nuns take the evangelical counsels ( vows and poverty, chastity and obedience) to show their complete love of God

The nuns follow the Carmelite Rule, meaning that they:

- meditate day and night on the Word of the Lord

-celebrate the Eucharist every day

- do manual work

The nuns spend almost twelve hours a day in prayer, worship and contemplation of God.

The nuns live away from the world trying to come closer to God

The Missionaires of Charity

As well as taking evangelical vows (vows of poverty, chastity and obedience), they also vow to serve the poorest of the poor.

For about 12 hours a day, the nuns and monks  love others by working in the centres run by the order

Some centres are for abandoned and dying of all castes and religions, to help them die with dignity, surrounded by God's love.

The missionaires also run orphanages, AIDS hospices, and care for lepers, refugees and victims of floods, epidemics and famines in order to share God's love with others
