A Lent with the Prophet Elijah

Elijah is the foremost of all biblical prophets and continues to be a source of inspiration for Christians today. He is an archetypal figure in the Carmelite tradition and as Carmelites we claim him as our father.

Together, we will explore aspects of his journey to meeting God and we will see how his life can help us in our own journey of meeting the Lord.
