Our Constitutions describe our lifestyle of following Jesus and the specific mission of the Congregation.

   The TERESIAN CARMELITE MISSIONARIES continue to express the ecclesial vocation of our founder.

Our personal vocation means to be called to community life within the Church, to be a sign of her presence and her life. Our lifestyle is simple, sisterly, with a family spirit that is prayerful and missionary.

Our ideal of evangelizing and promoting spiritual life fills the whole of our consecrated life.

   The Church is the centre and home of our spiritual life, the source and inspiration of our apostolate.

The Church, a mystery of communion: "God and neighbour". This guarantees unity of life for the CMT and is the basis of the Christian life of the MILPA.

The Eucharist as mystery of presence and communion, which increases and builds up the Church, is our personal and community prayer par excellence. It nourishes our being the Church and Spouse of Christ.

Since we are a Carmelite family, prayer for us means being "on friendly terms" with our Friend and Spouse. Through prayer we offer and commit ourselves to serving him in his "crucified mystical body" as our founder urged us.
