Mary and the Brown Scapular
Fr Hugh Clarke, O.Carm
According to Carmelite tradition, in the year 1251 the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Simon Stock and gave him a brown scapular to wear as part of the Carmelite habit. A simplified version is used by lay members of the scapular confraternities which is two square pieces of cloth attached with strings, hanging back and front over the shoulders. Today the brown scapular of the Carmelites remains one of the most popular devotions in the Church. In this revised booklet, Fr Hugh shows the biblical foundations for the devotion ahd how the scapular has been understood by the Carmelite saints, as well as making that devotion come alive for us.

Drink of the Stream. Prayers of Carmelites.
Penny Hickey OCDS
The prayers and meditations in this book were compiled to help the reader listen to and pray with the saints of Carmel throughout the ages, from Elijah through the twentieth century. These prayers allow one to enter into the most intimate depths of the souls of Carmelite saints. How better to learn than from the masters themselves. "When read slowly and reflectively, these devout outpourings have the power to snatch us up as well into the sublime intimacy of knowledge and love that our saints experienced in the divine mysteries." - Kiernan Kavanaugh, O.C.D.

My Only Friend is Darkness
Barbara Kent
This wise and widely-acclaimed book is written for those "who have advanced far enough in the love of God to enter the Night of Faith and feel the need of explanation, guidance, and reassurance." Drawing upon Scripture, classic spiritual authors - especially St. John of the Cross - and her own deep personal experience, author Barbara Dent examines the deep purifications we undergo as God cleanses us of sinful inclinations and transforms us in love. Using poetry and prose, image and parable, she guides us through the sufferings, temptations, upheavals and workings of grace at the deepest levels of our being, as we journey through the darkness of faith to new life in Christ.

Towards Mystical Union
Julienne McLean
A modern commentary on the mystical text 'The Interior Castle' by St Teresa of Avila. It seeks to encourage and assist modern pilgrims towards a more heart-centered contemplative and intimate relationship with God through presenting and exploring the saint's own spiritual writings and guidance. As well as being a manual for spiritual direction, Towards Mystical Union is also intended to be a contribution to the interface between modern depth psychology, contemplative prayer and the Christian mystical tradition.

Interior Castle - pb
Saint Teresa of Jesus
St. Teresa of Jesus, also known as St. Teresa of Avila, is one of the most popular Doctors of the Church. Her teaching on prayer has continued to inspire and guide Christians in their spiritual journeys for over four hundred years. In The Interior Castle St. Teresa describes the road by which she was led, well aware that the others may be led in a different way. In the heavenly Father’s house, there are many mansions; not only seven, and many paths lead to them. What gives the work such high value is, that it is the result of a most searching inquiry into the various phases whereby a soul is gradually transformed into the likeness of God Himself. Here St. Teresa is at her best. She takes nothing for granted, her own personal experiences are admitted only after having been fully investigated and found to be consistent one with the other, and conformable to the teaching of the Church and the words of Holy Scripture.

Carmelite Studies IX: The Heirs of St Teresa of Avila
ed. Christopher C Wilson, PhD
... Defenders and Disseminators of the Founding Mother's Legacy. This issue of Carmelite Studies presents new insights into the lives and writings of individuals who knew Teresa of Ávila in life and who, after her death in 1582, worked to propagate and defend her legacy, including the illustrious nuns Ana de San Bartolomé, Ana de Jesús, María de San José, and Ana de San Agustín, and her close male confidant and collaborator, Jerónimo Gracián de la Madre de Dios. A further focus of the essays is the reception of the Teresian heritage by individuals outside the order, as mediated by these early Discalced Carmelites and by Teresa's published writings.

The Dark Night of the Soul
Saint John of the Cross
St. John takes us on a journey into ourselves, a journey of knowledge and self understanding, that encompasses our failings and imperfections. It shows us how in a place beyond words we can embrace sadness and grief, and seeking God, our lives will be turned around. He describes the “arid and dark night of contemplation” which leads us to “the knowledge of oneself and of one’s misery.” True knowledge of our self and of our condition shows how far we must go to find God, who our restless hearts incessantly seek. The Dark Night of the Soul describes how first the senses, and then the spirit undergo a series of purgation, which aids in bringing it closer to God, and eventually preparing it for union with Him. The individual soul seeks Jesus in a mystical marriage. For after the dark night, comes the joy of mystical union with God.

God Speaks in the Night
Kieran Kavanaugh, OCD
Prepared by a team of Discalced Carmelite Spanish and Italian scholars, the authors spent years of research in preparing this book, first released in 1991 in a limited edition, honoring the fourth centenary of that saint's death. Nothing can match it as a source of information about the life, times and teaching of St. John of the Cross. This beautifully presented biography is lavishly illustrated with photographs and is supplemented with articles on John's times, writings and teaching. This volume also presents an unknown side of the saint: his family background, his pastoral experience, his extensive travels and his administrative work. With beautiful colour illustrations and over 800 colour photographs.
