Order of Carmelites

Flowers of Carmel

“Not only the ways of purgation and of illumination, but the ways of union and infused contemplation also are clearly proposed to Carmelites as the goal to be pursued, the ideal to be reached, even though such union and such participation in the celestial life is called a pure gift of God. As far as I know, there is in no Order, a book which determines the norm of that Order’s life, and which has in so emphatical a manner proposed the vocation to the mystical life.”

Bl. Titus Brandsma
