Order of Carmelites

Flowers of Carmel

“We may say that on the one hand the sanctity of many of its members earned for the Order new graces and favors from God; on the other, that the institution of the Sisters was a free and entirely voluntary gift conferred by God on the Order. Blessed John Soreth put a high value on this institution as the Sisters, through their stricter contemplative life, could supply in the Order what the Fathers, because of their growing activity in the world, not precisely forgot, but put more or less into the background, in spite of the fact that it was a salient characteristic of the Order.”

Bl. Titus Brandsma
