We trace Carmel from Elijah’s fire on Mount Carmel to Teresa, John, and Thérèse, showing how silence, detachment, and love shape a steady allegiance to Christ. Along the way we share how Our Lady’s scapular, community life, and simple daily prayer can anchor an ordinary life in God.

• origins on Mount Carmel and the Rule of Saint Albert
• Elijah as spiritual father and model of zeal
• Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the brown scapular
• allegiance to Jesus through contemplative prayer
• Teresa of Avila’s Interior Castle and perseverance
• John of the Cross and purification in the dark night
• Thérèse’s Little Way and holiness in small acts
• community shaped by silence, charity, and intercession
• practical steps to begin a Carmelite practice
• resources, retreats, and pilgrimages with Journeys of Faith
