Carmelite

Carmelite refers to a member of a Catholic religious order founded in the 12th century, originally as a community of monks living on Mount Carmel in Israel. Today, Carmelites include both monks and nuns who dedicate their lives to prayer, contemplation, and service, emphasizing a spiritual connection with God. The order values inner silence, simplicity, and devotion, and its members often live in convents or monasteries, engaging in communal worship and personal prayer. The Carmelite tradition has inspired many through its focus on cultivating a deep, interior relationship with the divine.
