The Discalced Carmelite Family is a religious order in the Roman Catholic Church. We, the members, trace our roots back to the ancient hermits on Mount Carmel, Israel, in the thirteenth century. Like them, we try to follow Christ with special emphasis on scripture and prayer. In this, we take Mary as our model. This way of life was reinterpreted for us in the sixteenth century by St Teresa of Avila with the help of St John of the Cross. That is why we are sometimes today refereed to as “Teresian Carmelites”.
