I read this on The New Liturgical Movement. I had heard of these Carmelite monks before. They celebrate the old Carmelite rite. The following statement is from their website:

Deep in the hearts of these monks there is a profound loyalty to the Magisterium of the Church. Like their holy parents, St. Teresa and St. John of the Cross, they wish to always remain "loyal sons of the Church." They firmly embrace and accept each and every definition that has been set forth and declared by the unerring Magisterium of the Holy Catholic Church. They will forever remain firmly united to the Holy Father, the Supreme Pontiff and Shepherd of the Church of Jesus Christ, and the Bishops united to him. They are also determined to always remain in loyal obedience to their immediate shepherd, the Bishop of Cheyenne.

Father Daniel Mary watches as freshly roasted coffee beans pour out of a roaster at the Carmelite monastery in Clark, Wyo. A typical day begins around 4 a.m. for the Carmelite priest and the rest of the monks, who plan on selling the fresh coffee at select shops and over the Internet.

Excellent news. I’ve been ordering print cartridges from the Cistercians that run www.lasermonks.com for several years now. I’m glad to see other monasteries starting similar endeavors.

Awesome! This is just like how the Monks used to operate in Medieval Europe (well, similar anyway). Too bad they are all the way out in Wyoming.

It is an old custom in Carmel that we drink using two hands as a sign of gratitude for the gifts of food that God provides from our benefactors.

I like that.

Cool! I’d love to get some coffee from them. Holy Cross Abbey in Berryville, VA, about 50 miles west from where I live, sells some great coffee from a sister Benedictine monastary in Venezuela.

I’ll have to check this out. I have always admired the Carmilites.
