Mary, Mother of Carmel
he book describes the Carmelite witness to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, from the 18th century to the present, allowing the brothers and sisters of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, both lay and religious, to describe how they were able to express their faith and devotion even under the most trying difficulties. The pages of the book illustrate the response of Carmelites to the voice of God for their times.
Mary the Perfect Contemplative: Carmelite Insights on the Interior Life of Our Lady
Mary the Perfect Contemplative is a fresh and beautiful portrait of the Mother of God. From her immaculate conception to her bodily assumption into heaven, Mary was set apart by God as the vessel of humanity’s redemption. Thrice favored as daughter of the Father, mother of the Son, and spouse of the Holy Spirit, Mary was endowed with supernatural gifts that enabled a contemplative life of grace. Unlike us, she was conceived without sin. Yet her reliance on faith, without the full vision of God’s plan of salvation during her earthly life, makes her for us the perfect model of faith. Pondering in her heart the mysteries she encountered throughout her life, she is the perfect contemplative....
The Carmelite Tradition
Eight hundred years ago, Albert of Jerusalem gave the hermit-penitents of Mount Carmel a way of life to follow. Since then, this rule has inspired and formed mystics and scholars, men and women, lay and ordained to seek the living God. In The Carmelite Tradition Steven Payne, OCD, brings together representative voices to demonstrate the richness and depth of Carmelite spirituality. As he writes, Carmelite spirituality seeks nothing more nor less than to 'stand before the face of the living God' and prophesy with Elijah, to 'hear the word of God and keep it' with Mary, to grow in friendship with God through unceasing prayer with Teresa, to 'become by participation what Christ is by nature' as...

By Fire Into Light
Ch. 4 (p. 197-281) contains a biography of Edith Stein, who was born to a Jewish family in Breslau in 1891 and in 1922 was baptized as a Catholic. In 1933, unable to teach under the Nazi laws, she entered a Carmelite nunnery in Cologne. After the "Kristallnacht" pogrom, her superior transferred her to a nunnery in Echt in the Netherlands. In August 1942, following a protest by the Churches in the Netherlands against the deportation of Jews, Stein and her sister Rose (who also had been baptized and settled in Echt) were deported to Westerbork and then to Auschwitz, where they perished. Two of their other siblings died in Theresienstadt. In 1998 Edith Stein was canonized as a saint.
Celluloid Saints
"The book is written with two goals in mind. The first is to give film viewers some background and context for evaluating what they see on screen, By and large. Hollywood is not conversant with theological issues; occasionally, movies reveal an appalling ignorance about religion. More often, however, the approach movies take is simply flat-footed and unsophisticated. Giving readers the tools they need to interpret and critique cinematic portrayals of sanctity is one goal of this book.".
Elijah Prophet of Carmel
For Carmelites, Elijah is considered their legendary founder and patron. This study explores Elijah in Scripture, legend, and Carmelite documents. Members of the three monotheistic faiths have always told stories of what the prophet Elijah has done and is still expected to do in sacred history. He is perhaps most appreciated by members of the Carmelite Order, known for its contemplative and pastoral orientation. Elijah is considered their legendary founder and traditional patron. Carmelites rank him as one of their greatest spiritual models. Their coat of arms displays his flaming sword, Mount Carmel, and Elijah's proclamation, "With zeal I have been zealous for the Lord God of Hosts." This ...

Prayer life in Carmel

Beginning with the Rule of Carmel he takes us along the path of prayer in Carmel, pointing out the landmarks down to the middle of the twentieth century. His study is more historical than analytical but he does offer some very perceptive insights, inviting further study.
