Book Overview

Excerpt from Life of St. John of the Cross of the Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel: Born A. D. 1542, Died 1591

The Order of our Lady of Mount Carmel had its beginnings in the east, where, for many generations, it grew and flourished, unknown to the dwellers in the west. From the day of the great prophets Elias and Eliseus - so runs the venerable tradition of Carmel* - the holy mountain was peopled by hermits who, by a life of prayer and penance, according to their measure, shadowed forth, from generation to generation, under the old law, the greater graces of the new.
