Order of Carmelites

Flowers of Carmel

“Being much stricter in their seclusion from the world, they could easily occupy themselves with more intensity with God and God accordingly rewarded their intercessory efforts. They were, so to speak, the crown and glory of the Order. They proved that the most blessed thing on this earth, the contemplation of God, was again Carmel’s own. They were an untiring group of women who considered it their vocation to be a Mary in the solitude of their convent; a Mary who chose the better part, which should not be taken from her.”

Bl. Titus Brandsma
