I think this IS the Ascent thread.
Our old formation program:
We started off with the Divine Office, since training in that is good for ALL Catholics. Then we had some material which explained very simply our Carmelite history and spirituality. Carmelite Spirituality in the Teresian Tradition (Fr. Paul-Marie of the Cross) was esp. good for this. Then basic study of the Rule of Life, and a biography of St. Teresa, followed by the Catechism’s section on prayer, and then the Way of Perfection. Then, Fr. Dubay’s Fire Within, and the Precautions, Counsels, Letters, Poetry, and Sayings of St. John of the Cross, followed by the Ascent. Then, St. T’s Interior Castle, and St.J’s Living Flame.
