“Indeed, we do not look upon him as the prior of the monastery of the Old Observance of Segovia did, as a sign of opposition, but rather as a bond of unity, binding us all together. The fact that we call ourselves Calced Carmelites of the Old Observance might create the impression that we despise his lessons, that we do not intend to follow him. It is a pity that we are so apt to place contradiction above agreement. Even during St. John’s lifetime many unreformed friars admired and imitated him in a way which gained them praise from himself.”
St. Titus Brandsma
