CarmelCast

Our goal here is simply to talk about the spiritual life from a Carmelite perspective - something that we already do in the monastery on a regular basis. Through this podcast, we hope to open the conversation up for you to listen and join in. We’re by no means experts on these topics, but we believe that our Carmelite tradition and saints have a lot to offer to those seeking to grow closer to God.

Easter is not just a single day—it is a season, a transformation, and an invitation to see with new eyes. In this reflection, we ponder the Paschal mystery through the lens of Faith, exploring how the Resurrection of Jesus offers not only victory over sin and death but also a renewed perspective on our struggles, failures, and defeats.

Even when Lent feels like a missed train or our resolutions fall apart, the empty tomb s...

What do you see when you look at a crucifix?

Is it guilt? Indifference? Or can it become your greatest comfort?

In this reflection, we explore the powerful mystery at the heart of the Christian faith: the Crucified Christ. With the help of St. Thérèse of Lisieux—who clung to the cross in life and in death. We reflect on why this image is not a symbol of defeat, but of victorious love.

This is not a sentim...

Envy poisons the soul, making us see others as rivals rather than companions in grace. But St. Thérèse of Lisieux discovered a truth that uproots envy completely—God’s love is infinite, merciful, and personal. 

We explore St. Thérèse’s profound garden imagery and how it reveals the key to overcoming envy. She once longed to be like the rose, yet she found peace in accepting her place as a simple violet or daisy. Her wisdom...

Why give yourself completely to God? St. Thérèse of Lisieux shows us the answer: because He is Mercy itself. Throughout her life, Thérèse sang of God’s mercy, not just in words but in how she lived—with total trust and surrender. But what does it really mean to trust in God’s mercy? And how do we respond to it?

In this reflection, we explore the heart of Thérèse’s spirituality—her confidence in God's love, even in wea...

Lent is a season of conversion—a time to return to that first encounter with God’s love. St. Thérèse of Lisieux remembered hers clearly: Christmas night, 1886. After years of spiritual struggle, she received the grace to overcome her self-preoccupation and embrace love and sacrifice.

Like Moses at the burning bush and the Samaritan woman at the well, Thérèse’s encounter changed everything. God calls us to the same transfor...

How can we find Jesus hidden in our daily lives? St. Thérèse of Lisieux sought to see Christ’s face even in moments of darkness, offering her suffering for others and recognizing His presence in those in need. In this video, we explore her devotion to the Holy Face, her “trial of faith,” and how her spiritual insights can help us see Christ in both glory and suffering.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
