Last Thursday a huge crowd gathered for the annual Corpus Christi procession through the streets of Dili, led by the Archbishop, Cardinal Virgilio do Carmo da Silva. The Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ is a public holiday in Timor-Leste enabling many people to take part in the procession. These photos are from the Facebook page of Xanana Gusmau. Among those in the photos are Carmelite friars and Lay Carmelites.

Carmelite Rule

A rule of life was given to the early Carmelites by St Albert Avogadro, Patriach of Jerusalem between the years 1206 - 1214. It was finally approved by Pope Innocent in 1247 and later underwent mitigations which were not in the original text.

The Carmelite Rule states that is basic for a Carmelite to "live a life of allegiance to Jesus Christ - how, pure in heart and stout in conscience, he must be unswerving in the service of his Master" [no.2].

Safeguarding

The Carmelites of Australia and Timor-Leste are committed to the protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults from all forms of abuse and mistreatment.
