I am discerning a vocation to the Discalced Carmelites and just made my second visit to their monastery and met with Fr. Michael Joseph Paris. He is a wonderful priest, and I am excited to listen to this episode. Please keep me in your prayers as I discern my vocation.

[@gmahlman]

The Lord will gently lead you, I have no doubt. Trust the Holy Spirit God Bless you.

[@jostmeify]

Prayers for your discernment !

[@ahavah.y]

I am also discerning O.C.D. nuns, actually i am making my second visit too, this saturday, so I am extremely thankful for this episode also :) Prayers for you!

[@JacobClift-wf4by]

​@@ahavah.y May God bless you as you discern your vocation. I will keep you in my prayers.

[@runmeek3445]

Keep bringing religious on we love it!

[@Di_bear]

Yes! So much better than those who politicize the faith.

[@holyroller.]

This sent me down a deep dive into the Carmelite order after about an hour in, and I'm floored by how God is filling my heart! The way they pray, their commitment to our Lady, the total surrender, and their way of living and evangelizing; it all speaks to my soul. I'll be praying a novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel to see if God is calling me to a vocation in the Carmelite order. Please pray for me.

[@Di_bear]

Read The Fire Within for a good start with Carmelite spirituality. It's one of the best books on prayer that you'll find. Radically changed my prayer life.

[@holyroller.]

​@@Di_bear Thank you very much. May God bless you.

[@JacobClift-wf4by]

Also the Carmelites have a podcast called Carmel Cast if you wanted to listen to more of Fr. Michael Joseph Paris.

[@stephencotter538]

I always appreciate when Matt throws in a comment about praying the rosary with his kids. It is not something that I do very often, although I would like to. And I am always inspired when he mentions it in. I appreciate how he does and sugarcoat it... It's tough to get kids to sit still and pray reverently, but I love how He and his family persevere and continue to do it. The beauty is in the imperfection, love it! This channel really is the best

[@Nick-w9z]

Man, this priest exhumes humility. Love it.

[@SwordsmanRyan]

Exudes!

[@FelisFidelis]

He probably wouldn't like me saying this, but Father Michael-Joseph is one of the most solid and uplifting priests I've ever worked with and every day I get to assist him is a pleasure. Honestly a great man, glad to see him getting recognition he probably doesn't want :)

[@ThePostmillennial]

As a Protestant I love his joy and zeal, and I laughed heartily during the bit about the “accomodation of scripture” because I appreciate his candour. 😅

[@kyledoss3782]

I felt so seen by Matt Fradd during that.

[@JuanMartinez-xl2oj]

Carmel Cast is a GREAT podcast!

[@belencaballero4774]

I justlove their carmelcast podscast. It is the best. For them i have became

[@isaiah3872]

Definitely check out the CarmelCast Podcast guys, there's so much good stuff. Especially the very first episodes on prayer & conversion

[@akolesar96]

Awesome! Miss you, Father Paris! Hope you're well!

[@Jo-h4k]

I discerned the OCD nuns in England & France. It remains the most treasured time of my life. St Therese is my confirmation saint too. We can plumb the depths of OCD spirituality our whole lives. God bless you Father 🙏

[@ShannonStapeOCDS]

Fr. Michael Joseph is doing my annual OCDS community district retreat next year. Can’t wait!

[@belencaballero4774]

Desde España este humilde Carmelita de sonrisa fácil ha transformado mi vida: he vuelto a la vida sacramental de un católico laico. Y todo por la espiritualidad carmelita y sus santos y como lo explican.

[@ChrisVincent-w7t]

Why am I SO interested in this??! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣❤️‍🔥

[@SoundScape419]

I'm so happy this interview finally happened! I am blessed to have Fr Michael Joseph near me and always love going to his talks and he's always very comforting and hospitable.

[@liscampbell3]

Oh my! Thank you for having him on!! I have been watching CarmelCast since it started. Carmel led me into the Catholic Church 14 years ago. St. John of the Cross is my patron saint. Also, Our Lady of Lourdes had a 6 decade rosary. The OLOL statues show that. The best show I’ve watched on here. 🤎

[@gkseeton]

I've been wearing a brown scapular for decades. I keep my medical alert tag on it. It is the one way I can be 100% certain to be wearing that tag.

[@JordanAbitz-fi1zp]

Just visited with Fr. Michael Joseph Paris, what a generous man! So incredibly insightful and dedicated to the faith!

[@TejcciJ]

Great Matt! Tnx

[@user-ps7pz6bo1v]

Such an interesting conversation! Thank you!

[@miacs9039]

I was very blessed by this discussion, thank you.

[@magicwandstudio3141]

I went to Carmelite convent in Indonesia. They follow St. Therese Liseux as inspiration. There is a lot of nun who are a refugee from China and Vietnam as well.

[@_Pia12]

Go Carmelites! 🤎🤎🤎🤍🤍🤍🥰

[@chrysorky]

I love this! Father Michael Joseph has been such a teacher for our family from the moment we came (and came back) to the Church (and I’m sure he doesn’t even know how blessed we feel by him 😅 mental note: share that with him in person!). One of the first talks that really stuck with me in our community was his talk on St John of the Cross, and our whole family has loved learning more about the Discalced Carmelite spirituality ever since. The Discalced Carmelites are such a blessing for us near Holy Hill and the surrounding area and I hope many more people come to know, love, and appreciate the gift we have. Thank you for having him on! Your show has been a blessing for someone new to all of this, and it’s great to see a guest who personally grew my walk in some way ❤

[@GreatRegression]

Thank you, friend.

[@briannaarambula509]

Where can I buy just a basic brown scapular?

[@SwordsmanRyan]

Go to your church and any priest can enroll you in the scapular, and they’ll give you the scapular they bless for free.

[@evavanvollenhoven308]

My son's name is Michael Joseph ❤

[@Oculoustuos]

What are the requirements along with wearing the Brown Scapular, recitation of the Little hours of the Blessed Mother?

[@SwordsmanRyan]

It depends on the priest who enrolled you. Many will require recitation of the Little Office. My priest only requires daily Rosary.

[@SwordsmanRyan]

[@itssmorphintime8496]

He speaks to similar things as Richard Rhor, minus the heresy 😅

[@BigPhilly15]

lol I thought 99% of Rohr was heretical.

[@itssmorphintime8496]

@ there was a lot for sure, but I learned so much from that man. Wouldn't have considered Catholicism if not for him
