Joseph Chalmers, O.Carm.
CARMEL: SCHOOL OF PRAYER |
This collection of reflections on Carmelite spirituality began as individual talks or letters during the second term of Fr. Joseph Chalmers, O.Carm., as Prior General of the Carmelite Order (2001-2007).
Some of the reflections are directed more specifically towards Lay Carmelites, whilst others have Carmelite religious in view, but anyone inspired by the rich heritage of ‘Carmel’ will find something of tremendous value in this book.
With his broad experience
of Carmelite life around the globe, the author (pictured right) perceives many reasons for the
Carmelite Family to find hope today. Above all, Carmel is seen as ‘a school for
prayer’, and its long tradition is viewed with an eye to the future. Father Joseph is the author of several books on Carmel, including In Allegiance to Jesus Christ, Mary the Contemplative, and The Sound of Silence. This latest book builds on those foundations to remind us that Carmelite spirituality is directed towards purifying our image of God and every aspect of our lives so that we might be what God has created each one of us to be.
Carmel: School of Prayer is printed as part of the popular ‘Carmel in the World Paperbacks’ series by the Carmelite Order’s central publishing house in Rome (Edizioni Carmelitane).
