Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney, on March 4, visited the Discalced Carmelite sisters at the Monastery of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel in Morristown, where he celebrated Mass.
Father Brendan Murray, a retired priest of the Paterson Diocese, concelebrated the liturgy. During the visit, Bishop Sweeney, Father Murray, and the Carmelite sisters recited together the Jubilee Prayer for the Jubilee Year of Hope 2025.
The Discalced Carmelites is a cloistered order with a daily schedule of eight hours of prayer, manual labor, some recreation, and contemplation. The sisters adhere to strict silence so their prayers may be more continuous.
