How is prayer a way for Carmelite nuns to reach out to the needs of the world?  

In this audio clip, we talk with Sr. Colette Ackerman, OCD, about what Carmelite prayer looks like on a daily basis and the practice of taking the world's suffering to heart in prayer. The full episode was taped during a Motherhouse Road Trip with the Carmelite Nuns of Baltimore, Md., in April and can be heard here.

GSR shares clips from our friends at  A Nun’s Life Ministry, which has a live prayer podcast on Monday (excluding holidays) at 4 p.m. Central Time and other live podcasts throughout the month: “Ask Sister,” “Motherhouse Road Trip” and “In Good Faith.” Dates and times for the full, live episodes are listed on their program schedule.
