Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of LA

The official YouTube channel of Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles.

The way of life of the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles is rooted in the Gospel, and in the Carmelite spirituality of St. Teresa of Ávila.  “Carmel” means enclosed garden in which God Himself dwells. The divine indwelling in the soul is the foundation of Teresa’s doctrine. Our charism unites the contemplative nature of Carmel with active apostolic works in service of the Church.  We live the charism of our foundress, Venerable Mother Maria Luisa Josefa of the Most Blessed Sacrament in promoting a deeper spiritual life among God’s people through education, healthcare, and spiritual retreats.  God calls us to be a presence inflamed within our world.  We are called to witness to God’s love through prayer and loving service. Our God-given mission overflows from each sister’s profound life of prayer.
