“We have already mentioned the pious tradition in the Order of Carmel that the Prophet Elias saw in the little cloud bearing the redeeming rain for the parched land of Israel as a prototype of Our Lady, the Mother of the Redeemer, a revelation of the mystery of the Incarnation.
Long before the Order became definitely established under St. Berthold, there was a sanctuary in honor of Our Lady on Mount Carmel. This sanctuary became the center of the Order in its new form and the first members of the Order were called after it, ‘the Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.'”
Bl. Titus Brandsma
