Are you a Lay Carmelite? What does it mean to you?

I am interested in learning more about the Lay Carmelite order. I have been wearing the scapular since last summer and found that my prayer life is growing deeper. I want to know Christ better through prayer. I also have a devotion to our Blessed Mother and wonder if I am being called to this order.

In addition, are there books to websites that would tell me more?

God Bless,

The above link will bring you to an earlier thread discussing the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites. There are two Carmelite Orders: the Carmelites of the Ancient Observance (O. Carm.) and the Discalced Carmelite Order (O.C.D., the reform Order founded by St. Teresa of Jesus and Saint John of the Cross). Both have Third or Secular Orders; the O. Carm. members are referred to as Lay Carmelites, the Discalced Carmelites are referred to as Secular Discalced Carmelites (I’ve been a member for 30 years).

God bless you in your discernment.
