Learning How to Meditate: An Unfinished Journey
Kevin Culligan O.C.D.
At the heart of daily life in Teresian Carmel are two hours devoted to mental prayer. Usually one hour in the early morning and another hour in the late afternoon. This practice goes back to Saint Teresa Jesus (Avila) who prescribed that two hours each day for meditation in her constitutions. The current constitutions of both the Discalced Carmelite Friars and Nuns continues to uphold this practice. Just as Liturgy and Public Worship characterize life in a Benedictine Monastery, so these hours given to mental prayer characterize life in Teresian Carmel. The speaker describes his own experience during his two hours a day and how he uses this time to continues to learn how to meditate.

Peacemaking and the Mortification of Desire
Kevin Culligan O.C.D.
The timeliness of nuclear disarmament has not passed as we face the challenges to peace in the new millennium. The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a systematic ordering of the teachings of the church. The Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church is a systematic ordering of the teachings of the church regarding social challenges, social issues, and it’s social doctrine. Both documents vividly bring to our conscious mind the importance for all Christians to be involved in peacemaking.

CD306The Wisdom of Emptiness
Kevin Culligan O.C.D.
Marvelous existence is true emptiness or true emptiness is marvelous existence. Either way, you have a saying that challenges the assumptions of our American way of life that states that a marvelous way to live is to have more of everything, more money, beauty, reputation, power, pleasure, religious experience. Emptiness sounds like the existence of those who live on the fringes of our society, no home, no security, no influence, no sanity, no say, nothing. What could be so marvelous about that? And where’s the wisdom?
