Carmelite spirituality

Carmelite spirituality is a contemplative tradition rooted in the pursuit of closeness to God through prayer, silence, and inner stillness. Originating from a 12th-century monastic community on Mount Carmel, it emphasizes trusting in God's presence, practicing inner humility, and fostering a deep sense of love and surrender. Inspired by figures like St. Teresa of Ávila and St. John of the Cross, it encourages cultivating a personal, intimate relationship with God while balancing active service and contemplative prayer. Ultimately, it aims to help individuals find peace, spiritual union, and the transformative power of God's love.
