Overcoming Physical Limitations

Part of my role in Carmel is to be the gateway into the groups.  When inquiries come to our website about the Seculars I am tasked with forwarding them to the appropriate Regional Representative for their geographical area.  We receive an increasing number of inquiries about our Virtual Carmelite meeting, which gathers on zoom once a month. This functions as a kind of Carmelite Spirituality group and it has not been doing formation.  However, in response to a growing number of inquiries from individuals unable to travel to a physical meeting who would like an actual Carmelite formation, I am thinking to start a separate full-blown OCDS online meeting with formation included.  This idea has been around in my head for a while but I think I am perhaps being jogged into action by the Holy Spirit because of two recent particular inquiries: one from a housebound individual and one from a lady who lives in a geographically remote area.  We shall see what the Good Lord is doing.
