“We should like to speak also about the apostolic character of the life of the great prophet, but his position in the Old Testament is clear enough to illustrate the zealous apostolic spirit by which he was led. Following this spirit also, Carmelite life has always been apostolic. We will see in the next lecture, and especially in the last, the apostolic character of Carmelite spirituality. We mention this apostolate here to indicate that also in this life, the life of the prophet of Carmel was stimulating and inspiring even to the highest ideal of the apostolate.”

Bl. Titus Brandsma
