Looking for a way to incorporate art into your prayer life or the lives of your students? Check out Perfect Intimacy at http://www.lilialmog.com/New_Site/Perfect_Intimacy.html. What you will find is a photo exhibition by artist Lili Almog featuring a series of photos taken at three Carmelite monasteries over two years. The images will inspire you and give you a unique window into the lives of these extraordinary women. An artist whose body of work has focused several times on the private lives of women, makes these Carmelite communities a focus in a new way. The communities - Mt. Carmel in Haifa, one in Bethlehem and one in Port Tobacco, MD allow her an unusual amount of access considering the Carmelite started as hermits!
