Our Lady in the Life of Carmel and St. Teresa

Walk with us today as we discuss Our Lady in the Life of Carmel and St. Teresa an article written by Fr. Gregory Ross, OCD.

Totus marianus est Carmelus.

This Latin phrase can be translated “Carmel is all Mary’s,” and has been used traditionally to indicate the Marian spirit of the Carmelite Order.

This saying about the Marian nature of the Order of Carmelites has characterized our Carmelite tradition from its beginnings. The earliest Carmelites on Mount Carmel in the 13th Century lived a simple life as hermits gathered together into a community, with a marked tendency to interiority and an impassioned aspiration for familiarity and intimacy with God.
