Hermits of Our Lady of Mount Carmel
The Hermits of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a Roman Catholic religious order observing the ancient Carmelite charism as it was lived on Mount Carmel and in the Discalced Carmelite Holy Deserts.
A soul called to live the Carmelite charism in its primitive form follows Our Lord in the way of perfection by a religious formation and observance based on the religious life of the ancient Carmelite community on Mount Carmel in the 1200s and of the contemplative and eremitical “Holy Deserts” established by the Discalced Carmelite, Ven. Thomas of Jesus in the 1600s. The community’s semi-eremitical contemplative religious life is vivified especially by the assiduous practice of mental prayer, sacred liturgy, spiritual study, fraternal charity, silence, solitude, and penance. The unmitigated Rule of St. Albert lays the foundations of this religious observance, which equips the called soul with the fullness of the external means to attain to that interior sanctification which is the fruit of Christ’s Saving Cross and the beginning of eternal beatitude, not only for itself but for the benefit of the entire Church.
